Injured hand. 15-over game. 113 runs. That’s Virat Kohli.
On 18 May 2016, Virat Kohli walked out against Kings XI Punjab with a split webbing on his left hand and nine stitches. The match was reduced to 15 overs because of rain — but that didn’t stop Kohli.
He smashed 113 off just 50 balls, including 12 fours and 8 sixes, to power RCB to a huge victory.
It was also his fourth century of the 2016 IPL season, a season in which Kohli finished with a staggering 973 runs.
The numbers were incredible. The injury made it even more remarkable.
