10,000 runs, and 300 sixes…The king of records, Virat Kohli created a new story, created a great record by hitting a six on Rashid Khan’s ball.

New Delhi. Whenever there is talk of records in the world of cricket, Virat Kohli’s name shines at the top. On the evening of Friday, 24 April 2026, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru witnessed a historic achievement. In the exciting match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans, 37-year-old ‘King Kohli’ performed a feat which no batsman in world cricket could do till date. Kohli has now become the first cricketer in the world to complete 10,000 T20 runs in any one country. Kohli, who has scored a lot of runs on Indian soil, has once again proved his supremacy by reaching this magical figure.

RCB had a strong start while chasing the big target of 206 runs given by Gujarat Titans. Kohli was looking in great form right from the beginning of the match. On the second ball of the 8th over of the innings, he hit a skyscraper six against the world’s best spinner Rashid Khan. With this six, Kohli also completed his 300 sixes in IPL history. Not only this, Kohli has become the first batsman in the history of IPL to hit 300 sixes for a single team (RCB). After him in this list comes the name of Rohit Sharma, who has hit 259 sixes for Mumbai Indians. Kohli (300) is now behind only Chris Gayle (357) and Rohit Sharma (310) in the all-time list of most sixes in IPL.

‘Dus Hazari’ history created in 10th over
Before the start of the match, Kohli needed 49 runs to complete 10,000 T20 runs in India. Kohli achieved this milestone in the 10th over at his favorite ground in Bengaluru. He not only showed patience during his innings but also kept the team’s hopes alive while chasing the huge target of 206 runs.

Kohli’s dominance in statistics
If we talk about the players who have scored the most T20 runs in any one country, then Virat Kohli is at the top with 10,000 runs in 291 matches. He has scored these runs while playing for Delhi, Team India and Royal Challengers Bangalore. After him in this list, the name of Rohit Sharma is there, who has scored 8563 runs in 319 matches in India. At third place is Shikhar Dhawan, who has 7626 runs in his name in India.

Interestingly, James Vince of England is at fourth place in this list, who has scored 7492 runs in England. Other Indian greats also include Sanju Samson (7254 runs), Suryakumar Yadav (7104 runs) and Ajinkya Rahane (7045 runs), but they are still far away from this huge figure of Kohli. Legends like Suresh Raina (6553) and Robin Uthappa (6434) are also included in this list, which shows Kohli’s consistency.

Unique ‘double’ of 800 fours and 300 sixes
The biggest feature of Virat Kohli’s batting is his balance. As aggressive as he is in hitting sixes, he is equally adept in hitting fours. He is the only batsman in IPL history who has more than 800 fours and 300 sixes in his name. This record shows that Kohli does not depend only on power-hitting, but also scores runs through classic cricketing shots.
