There was another new feather in the cap of the record-holder and star batter of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League 2026 match against Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Opening the innings for RCB in chase, Virat Kohli looked in good rhythm since the beginning after a dropped catch at duck. He started off the score by running 2 runs on the 4th delivery of the very first over of the match which was bowled by Mohammed Siraj. 

On the 4th delivery of the 2nd over by Kagiso Rabada he hit a boundary which made him 800 boundaries in the IPL and the first player to have 800 fours in the Indian Premier League.

Highest run-scorer of the Indian Premier League has over 800 boundaries to his name, following which is Shikhar Dhawan who have 768 fours, 663 from David Warner and 653 fours from Rohit Sharma.

Besides the records that he has broken in terms of fours, another milestone that is within his grasp. Kohli is just one six short of an IPL milestone. As of now, the Royal Challengers Bangalore player has 299 sixes in the IPL under his name.

In this match, if he hits one six, he will be the only player to ever score 300 sixes for one team in IPL. It highlights how consistent he has been for RCB since the inception of the IPL.

The six-hitting record holder remains Chris Gayle, who hit 357 sixes in 142 IPL matches between 2009 to 2021. He is followed by Indian skipper Rohit Sharma with 309 sixes in 276 matches while playing for the Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers.

Once again Kohli proves how essential he is in the IPL.
