Kohli left Chennai Super Kings’ captain Ruturaj Gaikwad in second spot with his innings. On Wednesday, Gaikwad had surpassed Virat Kohli to top the batting charts.
Kohli’s innings came after Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar slammed Virat Kohli for his rant against critics questioning his strike rate.
Rajasthan Royals batter Riyan Parag returned to the top five in the Orange Cape race after striking his fourth fifty of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday. Parag slammed 77 off 49 balls in a 202-run chase for RR.
