2. First batsman to score 6000 runs in IPL

Over the years, Virat Kohli has gone from strength to strength and is one of the most brutal forces with the bat in the world at present. With 5878 runs, Kohli is IPL’s highest run-scorer. He is just 122 runs short of breaching the 6000-mark and will become the first-ever to do so this season.

The talismanic run-scorer is followed by Suresh Raina, IPL’s former highest run-scorer. The Chennai Super Kings batsman has 5368 runs in 193 matches. Raina skipped IPL 2020, which saw Kohli extending his lead over him.


3. First Indian to score 10000 T20 runs

Virat Kohli is one of the leading run-scorers in world cricket at present. And now, he can well be the first Indian batsmen to breach the 10000 T20 runs landmark. Currently, he has 9731 runs in 304 matches and just needs 269 runs to create history.

Rohit Sharma, India’s second-highest run-scorer in this format, has 9065 runs. Overall, the list is topped by Chris Gayle, who has 13720 runs. The Windies legend is expected to play for a few more years and is likely to end his career after breaching the 15000-mark.
