From a personal perspective, the IPL 2023 was a stellar season for Kohli. From smashing centuries to taking jaw-dropping catches, Kohli did everything he could to take his team closer to the playoff, however, it wasn’t just enough. In the must-win game against the defending champions GT, Virat scored 101* in just 61 balls. His knock was laced with 13 fours and a stunning six.
Overall, in the 14 games Kohli played in IPL 2023, he amassed 639 runs at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate above 139. He scored two centuries and six fifties this season, with the highest score being 101*. He ended the tournament as the 3rd highest run-scorer, with only Faf du Plessis and Shubman Gill ahead of him.
Meanwhile, it was Shubman Gill’s sensational knock that crashed RCB out of the playoff race. Chasing the target, Gill played a stunning knock, scoring his 2nd century of the ongoing season. He helped his side chase down the target, which eventually shattered RCB’s dream of making it to the playoff.
