JAIPUR, India, Apr 13 (AFP): Batting great Virat Kohli struck his 100th half-century in T20 cricket to steer Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a thumping nine-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
England's Phil Salt set up Bengaluru's chase of 174 with his 33-ball 65 before fellow opener Kohli took charge to anchor the chase with an unbeaten 62 at Rajasthan's home in Jaipur.
The in-form Kohli smashed his third
half-ton of this season and 66th in the T20 tournament to go level with Australia's David Warner.
Warner leads the fifty count in the T20
format with 108 half-centuries and Kohli second with 100 in 401 matches. Pakistan's Babar Azam is third with 90.
Salt set the tone of chase by clubbing Rajasthan pace bowler and
England teammate Jofra Archer for a four and a six in the opening over.
