Virat Kohli's magnificent century against Sunrisers Hyderabad saw the Bangalore-based outfit take a giant stride towards sealing their berth in the knockout stages of IPL 2023. While the former Indian skipper's sixth IPL century received widespread applause, former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif reckoned it was a warning sign for India's opponents in the WTC final, Australia.

Meanwhile, former Australian spinner Brad Hogg raised a valid question regarding a contentious no-ball call during's RCB's second innings against SRH. The ex-cricketer also lauded Harshal Patel's sportsmanship after the RCB pacer applauded Heinrich Klaasen's century following his dismissal.

Coming back to Kohli, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra gave an insight into the humble beginnings of the former Indian skipper. Elsewhere, former Pakistani World Cup-winning skipper Imran Khan vowed to continue his fight despite the ongoing political struggle in the country.

Just at the right time, Virat Kohli goes in zone, looked in rhytm, meant business. RCB's rivals in IPL and far away in Australia, there will be lots of worried faces. @imVkohli

Klassen peace of sportsmanship by Harshal. Don't normally see a fast bowler hitting middle stump then clap the batsman off after a blistering innings. #RCBvSRH
