Two centuries in one match

It's rare to see a ton being scored in a T20 match. However, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) v Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) match on Thursday night witnessed two centuries scored by players from both sides. Batting first, SRH’s Heinrich Klaasen scored his maiden IPL ton to power his team to 186-5. His innings was laced with eight fours and six sixes. In reply, star batsman Virat Kohli smashed 100 off just 63 balls to equal Chris Gayle’s record for most centuries (6) in IPL as RCB won the must-win tie with eight wickets in hand. The week overall witnessed five centuries with Punjab Kings's Prabhsimran Singh (103), Mumbai Indians's (MI) Suryakumar Yadav (103 not out) and Gujarat Titans's (GT) Shubman Gill (101) bringing up their maiden IPL tons.
