The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a paradise for batters, with numerous players making history with their exceptional performances. The 19th edition of IPL, set to begin on March 28, 2026, is expected to be no different, with more record-breaking feats to be recorded as the world’s best batters are preparing to make big impacts.
Leading the all-time run charts is Indian batting stalwart Virat Kohli, who holds the record for the most runs in IPL history for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Kohli’s best season in the competition was in 2016, when he scored a record 973 runs, which is still the highest in a single edition. The IPL has seen several players cross several landmarks.
In the last edition of the cash-rich league, the batters were in rampage mode as they were easily dispatching the deliveries out of the fence with relative ease. The upcoming season is expected to be a run-fest once again.
