3. Virat Kohli vs Gujarat Lions (GL) {2}
India has produced many match-winners but there have been only a few of the caliber of Virat Kohli. The 34-year-old has annihilated batters with his glorious stroke play and stamped his authority on the cricket field. He is the most prolific run-getter in the IPL and has accumulated an insane tally of 6838 runs in 227 matches at a strike rate of 129.65.
In the ninth edition of the lucrative T20 tournament, Kohli was in his element and racked up 973 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 152.03, which includes four centuries. The Indian batter took a special liking to Gujarat Lions during the season and smashed two tons against them.
In the first encounter between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat in IPL 2016, Kohli hammered 100* runs off 63 balls. However, his valiant effort went in vain as Suresh Raina & Co. won the game by six wickets. Then in the second clash against the Gujarat side, the batting maestro piled on 109 runs off 55 balls and it proved to be a match-winning one as RCB thrashed GL by 144 runs.
