News India Live, Digital Desk: It is said that records are meant to be broken as soon as they are made, but when it comes to Virat Kohli, along with breaking records, he also writes a new chapter in history. In the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batsman Virat Kohli has achieved a feat which no batsman in the world has been able to do till date. Kohli has completed his 9000 runs in IPL history and has become the first player in the world to reach this magical figure. This historic achievement has once again proved why he is called ‘King Kohli’. That historic moment and ‘Kohli-Kohli’ echoing on the Bengaluru ground. During the match, as soon as Virat Kohli completed the special run of his innings, the entire stadium echoed with slogans of ‘Kohli-Kohli’. Even the bowlers of the opposition team could not stop themselves from praising him for this great achievement. It has been a very emotional journey for Kohli, who has been a part of RCB since the first season of IPL in 2008. Reaching this milestone while playing for the same franchise is the biggest proof of his loyalty and consistency. Leaving behind legends like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner, Kohli has always been at the forefront of the IPL runs race. Veteran batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner are also included in this list, but with the average and strike rate with which Kohli has built the mountain of 9000 runs, reaching there seems to be a tough task for any player at present. He has scored many centuries and dozens of half-centuries in his journey. In the juggernaut of statistics, Virat is now at a stage where only his own shadow is visible behind him. Age is just a number, fitness and hunger are still intact. Virat Kohli, who is approaching the age of 37, is still hungry for runs as it is in an 18 year old young player. This season too, Kohli seems to be in great form and is leading in the race for the Orange Cap. Cricket pundits believe that the way Kohli pays attention to his fitness, he can cross the mark of 10,000 runs in the future. From Sachin Tendulkar to former great cricketers, Kohli has congratulated him on this achievement. RCB’s victory and Kohli’s unwavering faith. Personal records for Virat have always come after the team’s victory. Even after completing 9000 runs, the aggression and passion to make the team win was clearly visible on Kohli’s face. This historic record of his has not only given RCB fans a reason to celebrate, but has also given a new energy to the team’s playoff hopes. Now it remains to be seen whether Virat Kohli is successful in giving RCB its first title on the strength of his bat in this historic season or not.
