Virat Kohli scores first 50 in 15 innings for RCB against GT

Virat Kohli took a run, looked up to the sky and held his bat in the air. The moment had finally come. It was Virat Kohli's fifty.  

The wait of fans rooting for Virat's performance was finally over as their favourite run-machine answered his critics with a sweet half-century off 45 balls in the ongoing match against Gujarat Titans at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Batting first, Faf lost his wicket without scoring any run. However, Virat and Rajat Patidar stitched a partnership as both of them slammed



half-centuries.

This is Virat's first 50+ score in 15 innings. He has only one longer gap of making 50 runs which was 18 innings during 2009 and 2010 editions.

Kohli lost his wicket to Mohammed Shami after scoring 58 off 53.

Virat's decline as a batsman had taken the cricket world by storm. He hasn't scored a century in any format for three years now and the wait for that 71st hundred has gained mythical proportions. All of this further gained steam when he was out on duck on two consecutive games.
