5 interesting gestures by players at IPL 9 and what they signified

Kohli’s superhuman form makes him forget pain

Kohli points to his injured hand after reaching his 4th IPL ton of the season

Virat Kohli is playing like a man possessed lately. Bowlers and fielders cannot do a thing to stop him, and neither can physical pain. As could be seen in the rain-curtailed RCB vs KXIP match, when he became the only cricketer to score a century in a 15-over match, Kohli can conquer pain and then point to it and laugh.

Kohli was scripting history with his 4th ton of the season, and he was doing it with 7-8 stitches on the webbing of his left hand.

He had picked up a ghastly injury while fielding against KKR in the previous match, but had said that he did not care about the number of stitches he needed as long as his team won. He showed on Wednesday that he is true to his words, facing bowlers with his left hand in the firing line, and yet hitting shots with abandon.

As he reached his century, he pointed with his right hand to his left glove, under which lay pain which would have sidelined any other player. The RCB captain, however, could be of a new bionic breed of batsmen.
