G.O.A.T Virat Kohli: RCB batter becomes 1st player to score 7 IPL tons, fans call him 'greatest of all time'

In the do-or-die game between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT), Virat Kohli stood up to the occasion and helped RCB reach 197 runs on the board. After losing wickets at the other end, Kohli stayed till the end and scored his second 100 of the season.

With this, he broke his ex-teammate Chris Gayle's long-standing record of most centuries in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In fact, he now has the tag of having the most tons in IPL history.

Most hundreds in the IPL:

7 - Virat Kohli

6 - Chris Gayle

5 - Jos Buttler

He is also one of the few batters who has scored back-to-back IPL hundreds. His first 100 had come against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

Batsmen with back-to-back IPL hundreds:

2 - Shikhar Dhawan (DC, 2020)

2 - Jos Buttler (RR, 2022)

2 - Virat Kohli (RCB, 2023)

Soon after his ton, cricket fans took to social media and started trending, "GREATEST OF ALL TIME" and the term "G.O.A.T".

As for RCB, they need to win their game against GT in order to make it to IPL 2023 Playoffs. Earlier in the day, Mumbai Indians (MI) won their game vs SRH but die to the NRR, they have to wait for the RCB game to end. A defeat for RCB will knock them out of the competition.
