Virat Kohli's 4 Centuries in a season or Chris Gayle's knock of 175* - Which record will be broken first?

-



Records are made to be broken. A lot of records are created or broken in almost every game across the globe. A lot of players have created a lot of records in the IPL as well.

One such record was created by Chris Gayle who scored 175* of 66 deliveries in an innings against Pune Warriors India in 2013 edition. One more record was created by Virat Kohli who scored 973 runs in a single edition of IPL in 2016 which included 4 centuries in that season. Now the question is, will these records be broken or which record will be broken first?

I personally believe that if a batsman has a good day, he can score a century in a T20 game or can score 130-140 runs if he has an even better day. But scoring 175 is a very big task. Also a batsman can score 1 century in a season if he has a good season or can score 2 centuries if he has an excellent season but scoring 4 centuries in a season is still a very big task.

Since I'm supposed to choose one of them, I feel Virat's record of 4 centuries in a season can still be broken if I compare it to Chris Gayle's record of 175 in an innings. Chris Gayle's record is still safe according to me and will not be broken that easily. Also someone will be required to play at a very different level to break Virat's record too because that is not that easy to be broken either.

The 1983 World Cup Final - The Most Iconic Moment In The History Of Indian Cricket

When on 24th June 1983, a day before the World Cup final, the Indian team had a look at the pitch, it was green as if it was prepared for the mighty West-Indian pace attack that included Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding. The West Indian team was playing its 3rd consecutive final whereas the Indian team was playing its 1st final. The next morning, on 25th June 1983, the West Indian captain Clive Lloyd won the toss and invited the Indian team to bat first. The West Indian pace attack didn't disappoint their skipper and dismissed the whole Indian team on the score of just 183 runs in 54.4 overs. West Indies were all set to lift their 3rd consecutive Trophy. Everything was in their favour. The score was small and their batsman were in great form too. And then came the inspirational words from the Indian skipper who said, "We have already scored 183 runs and they still have to score those runs. We should give resistance and not give away the...

If everything would have been normal, we must have been enjoying the IPL by now. But yes we can't control the nature. IPL in India is a festival. It has been a great 12 years of journey with a lot of memories. Here in this blog we will talk about the top 5 IPL moments yet - 5. McCullum's curtain raiser @158* - It was just an experiment done to start the IPL. There were a lot of doubts about this format and what happened next. In the very first game, Brendon McCullum walked out to bat for KKR almost smashed to every part of the ground scored a  magnificent 158* of just 73 deliveries against RCB and it cleared all the doubts about the IPL's future. What a start that was to the IPL. 4. MI chasing 190 in just 14.3 overs - How often have you seen Rahul Dravid angry. That was one of the few moments when he got angry and he actually through his cap in anger after the last ball. It was RR vs MI and a place in playoffs was on the line. RR batted first and sco...

The modern-day great, the white-ball legend, the master of a run-chase and a guy who score runs for fun as if it is a daily routine for him and in the process he fails in 2-3 knockout games & all of a sudden a lot of people start questioning his calibre & his potential. A lot of people start abusing him and his family. Is this the right thing to do? Does he even choke in ICC knockout games? A lot of people without knowing a lot of things start uttering shits that India lost the 2015 and 2019 world cup and 2017 Champions Trophy because of Virat Kohli. For your information, in the run chase of 329 against Australia in the semi final of 2015 world cup, Virat Kohli got out after just scoring 1 run. Also in the run chases of 2017 Champions Trophy final & 2019 World Cup semi final Virat Kohli got out on the scores of 5 and 1 respectively. Those numbers are definitely not good. But  a lot of people start judging him on the basis of these scores only. Are these the only...
