Pakistan cricketer mocks Virat Kohli for scoring slowest IPL century

Virat Kohli on Saturday scored an unbeaten 113 against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing IPL season.

He reached his century in 67 balls, making it the joint-slowest century in IPL history, matching Manish Pandey's 67-ball effort in 2009.

Despite Kohli's ton, cricket pundits questioned his strike rate and aggressive intent during the innings.

Pakistani cricketer Junaid Khan took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Kohli, labeling his century as the "slowest 100 in the history of IPL."

"Congratulations Virat Kohli on the slowest 100 in the history of IPL," Junaid wrote on X.

Kohli himself acknowledged the challenging conditions during the mid-innings break, admitting the difficulty he faced in scoring on the pitch. Despite appearing flat, Kohli revealed that the surface was not conducive to easy scoring.

However, the focus shifted swiftly as Rajasthan Royals comfortably chased down the 184-run target. Their opener, Jos Buttler, stole the limelight with an unbeaten century in just 58 balls, nine balls quicker than Kohli. Rajasthan emerged victorious with five balls to spare, sparking further debate about Kohli's approach and effectiveness in the fast-paced format of T20 cricket.
