RR vs RCB: In IPL 2024, Virat Kohli has been seen in great form since the first match. Although he has been criticized due to his slow strike rate, now another historical record has been added to his name in the Indian Premier League. Kohli has the Orange Cap in the current season of IPL and now he has become the first player in the history of this league to score 7,500 runs. Before the match against Rajasthan Royals, he was only 34 runs away from touching this figure. He has created this record in his 242nd match in IPL.
It is also a surprising fact that Virat Kohli has scored all these runs for RCB because he has been playing for this franchise since the very first season of the Indian Premier League in 2008. In the RR vs RCB match being played at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur, he has scored the 53rd fifty of his IPL career and Kohli is also the Indian batsman who has scored the most half-centuries in the history of this league. Kohli has completed his half-century in 39 balls.
Shikhar Dhawan is second after Kohli in terms of scoring the most runs in IPL, who has scored 6,755 runs while playing 221 matches in his career. This means Virat Kohli is the only player in IPL who has scored more than 7 thousand runs. The third place is held by David Warner, who has 6,545 runs in 180 matches so far.
Kohli had scored 165 runs in the first season and 246 runs in the second season. But after 2009, Kohli has scored more than 300 runs in every season of IPL and his form in IPL 2024 has been excellent so far, so this time too he is definitely going to touch this figure. Virat Kohli is also the player who has scored more than 900 runs in any one season of IPL. He had set many big records by scoring 973 runs in 2016.
