This monumental effort helped Kohli surpass various batting records, including most runs for a single team. He also became the player with the most centuries in T20 cricket.
The destructive batting of Jos Buttler has also been a constant feature. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Rajasthan Royals skipper smashed his sixth IPL ton to draw level with Chris Gayle.
Death-over specialist Rashid Khan pulled off another narrow win for Gujarat Titans with his power-hitting cameo. The Afghanistan leg-spinner is renowned for his ability to change matches in the closing stages through both his bowling and batting.
