In the 50th match of the Indian Premier League 2023, Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This match was a perfect homecoming for the former India skipper Virat Kohli as he scored his 6th fifty in the ongoing tournament. However, his innings didn’t help RCB as DC chased down 182 runs in just 16.4 overs.

Riding on an amazing half-century from Phil Salt, DC registered their fourth victory in the last five games. Phil scored 87 runs off 45 balls with the help of eight boundaries and six maximums. Earlier, Kohli had an amazing day in the game as he scored a brilliant half-century in the match.

He scored 55 runs off 46 balls with the help of five boundaries. Meanwhile, he also became the first batter in IPL history to score 7000 runs in the tournament.

To reach the milestone, Kohli smashed a boundary off Axar Patel of the Delhi Capitals. Kohli paid gratitude to his boyhood coach Rajkumar Sharma by touching his feet before the match against DC. The right-hander expressed gratitude for accomplishing things he never dreamt possible, such as having a pavilion dedicated to him.

“It’s a special day”, says Virat Kohli

After the game, Kohli spoke about his homecoming. He said that it feels special and amazing to be back here in his home ground. He said,

“7000 runs is just another milestone during the journey of what I’m trying to do for my team. It’s a nice number when you try to do something for your team.”

“It’s a special moment, Anushka is here, my family is here, my coach is here. I was honoured with getting a pavilion named after me. I started my journey here and started playing for Delhi here. I never imagined all these things would come there and there’s gratitude for all this. I want to put my head down and continue to work hard”, he further added.
