Venkatesh Iyer becomes first KKR batter to score a hundred since McCullum in 2008, smashes second century of IPL 2023

Venkatesh Iyer of Kolkata Knight Riders smashed the second century of IPL 2023, off 49 balls, against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

Harry Brook of Sunrisers Hyderabad had scored an unbeaten 55-ball 100 against Knight Riders to become the season’s first centurion.

Venkatesh is only the second Kolkata Knight Riders batter to score a hundred in the IPL, after Brendon McCullum, who had struck a blistering century (158* off 73) against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first-ever IPL match in 2008.
