Virat Kohli cracked a scintillating ton against the Punjab Kings in IPL 2016The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Virat Kohli are all set to open their IPL 2022 campaign against the new-look Punjab Kings on March 27 (Sunday). The Bangalore-based franchise are yet to win the marquee tournament and will look to start off on a winning note.Kohli is one of the oldest members of the outfit and is inarguably their most successful batter. As far as Kohli vs Punjab goes, he has had a relatively good run, racking up 741 runs from 27 matches at an average of 29.64 and a strike rate of 126.88.Ahead of their IPL 2022 clash, we take a look at three of his best performances against the Kings.#1 2016: Virat Kohli blitzes a magnificent 113IPL 2016 was a season to remember for RCB and Virat Kohli. It saw their last appearance in an IPL final, and the then skipper slammed four centuries to have a run-filled season.Although the side lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final, Kohli carried over his scintillating form from the T20 World Cup. He scored 973 runs in the edition — including a ton against Punjab at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.Walking out to bat, he walloped a 50-ball-113 studded with 12 fours and eight sixes as the Royal Challengers posted a formidable 211 for three in their 20 overs. His fellow opener, Chris Gayle, played second fiddle with a bruising 32-ball-73.The visitors fell short by 82 runs after Yuzvendra Chahal's spun a web, finishing with figures of 4/25.#2 2019: Kohli's 53-ball-67 as RCB win by 8 wickets View this post on Instagram Instagram PostChasing a competitive 173, Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel got the side off to a breezy start before the latter was dismissed by Ravichandran Ashwin.The dismissal didn't put the former skipper off as he notched up a 53-ball-67 to set up the platform for AB de Villiers (59* off 38; 5 x 4, 2 x 6) and Marcus Stoinis (28* off 16; 4 x 4). It was a comprehensive eight-wicket win for the side with Kohli leading the charge.#3 2018: 28-ball-48* to chase down a paltry 88Much of the credit goes to Umesh Yadav's 3/23 and some brilliance on the field that saw three run outs being affected. Punjab were restricted to a paltry 88 and in reply, RCB raced off to a ten-wicket win. Virat Kohli slammed a 28-ball-48* and Parthiv Patel contributed with an equally brisk 22-ball-40*.RCB chased down the target in just 8.1 overs with the skipper firing six fours and two sixes from his willow.
