Virat Kohli created history by becoming the first batter in IPL history to score 4000 runs in run chases.

He achieved this milestone during the IPL 2026 opener between RCB and SRH at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Kohli also surpassed Shoaib Malik to become the sixth-highest run-scorer in T20 cricket.

He played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 69 runs off 38 balls, guiding RCB in a high-pressure chase.

Devdutt Padikkal supported him well with a quick 61 off 26 balls to keep the chase on track.

RCB chased down 202 in just 15.4 overs, registering the fastest 200-plus chase in IPL history.
