Talisman batter Virat Kohli hit a landmark half-century during a run chase in the IPL as Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued their good run on Sunday. Kohli hit 62 for his 100th half-century in T20 cricket to lead Bengaluru to a crushing nine-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.After the dismissal of Phil Salt, who set up Bengaluru's chase of 174 with his 33-ball 65, Kohli took charge to anchor the chase with an unbeaten 62.Kohli then shared an unbeaten stand of 83 with left-hander Devdutt Padikkal, who hit 40, to steer the team home with 15 balls to spare. 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.However, in a concerning event, Kohli, who reached his fifty with a six in the 15th over, snatched a lightning fast double the next delivery. A gasping Kohli, visibly uncomfortable, then signaled the bowler to wait and went to Samson and asked him to check his heart-beat.The Rajasthan Royals skipper assured Kohli that all is well and both continued with the game.The 36-year-old emerged second in the list of most T20 fifties with Warner (108) leading the count in the format. Pakistan's Babar Azam is third with 90.Meanwhile, It is RCB's fourth win in six matches, placing them in the top four of the table.
