In the first ever instance in the history of the Indian Premier League, there were two centurions from either side in the same match. However, Heinrich Klaasen’s century couldn’t ensure his team’s victory and Virat took his team to the top four.
Klaasen played a great knock and helped SRH post 186 runs on the scoreboard but the 172-run opening partnership between Kohli and Faf du Plessis took the game completely away from the hosts.
