IPL9 - unstoppable Virat Kohli scores his 4th ton: a record

It was a rain curtailed match of IPL9 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab. After losing the toss, the RCB was sent in to bat by KXIP and, it turned out to be a nightmare for them. Virat Kohli hit his 4th century of IPL9 (113 runs off 50 balls). There were sixes galore with the openers Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle hitting eight sixes each to post a massive total of 211 for 3 wickets in the allotted 15 overs.
This has been reported in oneindia.com dated 19 May 2016.

RCB captain Virat Kohli scored his fourth century in the ongoing IPL season and became the only batsman to score more than 800 runs in a single edition. His tally now stands at 865 runs from 13 matches. Incidentally, he had sustained injuries that required multiple stitches due to his split webbing on left hand. It happened during the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kohli had hit 12 fours and eight sixes while his opening partner Chris Gayle smashed a scintillating 32-ball 73 with the help of four boundaries and eight sixes. The duo posted a whirlwind 147-run opening stand to lay the foundation for a huge score. Thanks to Kohli and Gayle's blitzkrieg, the Royal Challengers Bangalore scored 211/3 in 15 overs in the rain-curtailed match.
