Since his IPL debut, Kohli has been a force to be reckoned with, amassing significant achievements and records throughout his career. This season, he not only surpassed the 8000-run mark but also enjoyed one of his most prolific seasons since his iconic 2016 campaign, where he scored 973 runs. His stellar performance, including over 700 runs, one century, and five fifties, has been instrumental in the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) making a remarkable comeback and qualifying for the playoffs. Despite their elimination from the season, his consistent run-scoring has earned him the prestigious Orange Cap as the leading run-scorer of the tournament, a testament to his undeniable impact on the team’s performance.

Kohli’s influence extends beyond his batting prowess. He has a history of breaking records, including being the first player to score 3000 runs at a single IPL venue, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. His IPL career boasts eight centuries and 55 fifties, which underscores his ability to consistently play long and impactful innings.
