Virat Kohli's impressive performance in the current IPL season continues to set new records. Published: April 11, 2025 8:40 AM IST By Edited by Virat Kohli, a key player for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has achieved another significant accomplishment in his successful career. During Thursday’s IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a star batsman achieved a record-breaking feat.
He became the first player in IPL history to accumulate 1,000 boundaries, comprising 721 fours and 280 sixes. Playing before an enthusiastic home audience, Virat Kohli hit a characteristically clean six, achieving a long-awaited milestone and setting a new record. Virat Kohli’s impressive 8,190+ IPL runs solidify his reputation as the most consistently successful batsman in the tournament’s history.
Despite a brief innings, Virat Kohli’s 22 runs off 14 balls demonstrated his continued potency as an opening batsman, even though he was eventually dismissed by Vipraj Nigam. Nigam’s delivery, a teasing leg-break, lured Kohli into a drive that resulted in a stunning catch by Mitchell Starc at long-off, momentarily silencing the electrified Chinnaswamy crowd. Earlier, DC skipper Axar Patel had won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Delhi, undefeated in the tournament, unexpectedly replaced Samir Rizvi with Faf du Plessis. In contrast, RCB maintained a stable playing eleven, with captain Rajat Patidar highlighting the significance of home-field advantage and accumulating positive momentum. “We would have loved to chase, but the surface looks hard, we’ll look to put up a good total and defend it.
I always back my instincts, but I do plan as well. It’s important to win home matches as well, important to have the momentum going,” RCB batter Rajat Patidar said at the toss. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on or follow us on and .
