Kohli Becomes First Player to Score 9,000 IPL Runs

Virat Kohli, the legendary Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter, etched his name in history on April 27 by becoming the first player to reach 9,000 runs in the Indian Premier League. 

The milestone came during a clash against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi entered the match low on confidence after a heavy 265-run chase defeat to Punjab Kings, a game that also saw



Lungi Ngidi suffer a head injury. 

They were searching for just their fourth win of the season, while Bengaluru came in with momentum after beating Gujarat Titans.

In 274 matches and 266 innings, Kohli has scored 9012 runs at an average of 39.95 and a strike rate of 133.76, including eight centuries and 66 fifties, with a highest score of 113.
