The IPL have had only 2 Indian players as MVP since its inception. Virat Kohli was its second recipient as his performances in this IPL were beyond anything anyone has ever witnessed.

His first century, incidentally against the very same team, went in vain. However, he made sure lightning didn't strike twice.

Facing the Lions in a must-win encounter, he and AB de Villiers went full throttle and made the Gujarat bowlers look like a bunch of primary school kids.

In the end, he finished with 109 runs while playing only 55 balls in the process.
