(BCCI/Sportspicz)

Virat Kohli scored yet another IPL century, in RCB's (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) recent game against RR (Rajasthan Royals). The Indian batter scored his eighth IPL hundred, with an unbeaten 113-run knock at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium on April 6.

Kohli crossed the 100-run mark in 67 balls against Rajasthan in Jaipur. Despite all of Kohli's efforts, RCB went down to RR, thereby losing three on the trot. To top that, the star batter scored the slowest century in IPL history on Indian soil, and joint-slowest across all seasons. 

The 35-year-old sits high on top of the run-getters list. However, the fans have trolled Kohli for his selfishness after the loss against RR. And among them, is a former Pakistan bowler, Junaid Khan, who has had the better of Virat Kohli in the past.

Fans roast Virat Kohli for scoring slowest hundred in IPL 

A fan from Pakistan compared Virat Kohli's slowest T20 century (67 balls) with that of Babar Azam. The Pakistan talisman has scored his slowest century in T20 cricket in just 62 balls, five lesser than that of Kohli.

Being the record-maker that Kohli is in IPL, many fans have taken the opportunity to sarcastically troll the RCB batter after Kohli's 113-run knock against RR.

A fan brought out the list of Indians with slowest century in IPL history. Virat Kohli and former RCB batter, Manish Pandey sit at the top, with 67 balls. 

Slowest century by an Indian in IPL

Virat Kohli - 67 balls, Manish Pandey - 67 balls, Sachin Tendulkar - 66 balls, Virat Kohli - 63 balls, KL Rahul - 63 balls, Virat Kohli - 62 balls. Perfect definition of - Apne runs banao, Team LMAO 😭, the fan trolled Kohli after RCB vs RR.

A fan expressed how Kohli created pressure on his batting partner Faf Du Plessis. He blamed Kohli for Faf giving his wicket away.  

Created pressure on faf by playing 38(32). Faf was playing at 151 SR and then threw his wicket because of Kohli . Scored fifty in 39 balls then took 28 balls to score hundred, Mahiyank explained.

Made slowest hundred in IPL history. Show me a more Selfish player than Virat Kohli, he added.

Fans have trolled Kohli for scoring the slowest IPL century. Kohli is tied with Manish Pandey, for scoring his hundred in 67 balls.  

A Rohit Sharma fan compared his idol's record to that of Virat Kohli. Sharma holds the record of fastest century in T20I history (35 balls vs Sri Lanka in 2017). Meanwhile, Kohli just matched the record for slowest IPL century (67 balls).

Kohli created history a/c to his levels, the Rohit Sharma fan tweeted.

 A fan made a meme template - Rule No. 1 in Kohli's dictionary would be to eliminate the word T20 - after he scored the slowest IPL century.

A CSK fan sarcastically called Kohli the King, as he matched ex RCB player, Manish Pandey, to score the slowest IPL century. 

King breaking records for fun, a CSK fan tweeted. Another record by Virat Kohli, he registers the slowest century record in IPL now alongside ex RCB player Manish Pandey, the CSK fan tweeted.

A fan made another meme template about Kohli's strike rate, and how RCB missed out on scoring 200 runs in Jaipur. RCB scored a par score of 183 in their 20 overs. The fan called Kohli selfish, caring about personal milestones.
