5 Consecutive Boundaries by Virat Kohli in Rabada’s Over

It seems age cannot defeat Indian star cricketer Virat Kohli. In the IPL match held on Thursday against Gujarat Titans, Kohli thrilled cricket fans by hitting five consecutive boundaries in an over bowled by Gujarat’s star cricketer Kagiso Rabada.
South African star fast bowler Kagiso Rabada came to bowl the second over of the innings in the match held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, Kohli reduced Rabada’s over to a club-level standard by hitting five consecutive boundaries. Naturally, such batting by Kohli created an unprecedented atmosphere in the stadium.
By hitting five boundaries in a single over, Virat Kohli has etched his name into a record in the history of Royal Challengers Bangalore. It is noteworthy that the “Indian Run Machine” has become the third player in the history of IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore to hit five boundaries in an over.
Previously, Chris Gayle and Australian player Shane Watson had hit five consecutive boundaries for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Gayle set this record against Ishwar Pandey in 2013, and later in 2016, Shane Watson hit five boundaries against Thisara Perera.
