New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bengaluru who came out to end their 18-year wait in the Indian Premier League 2025 played an amazing game. Virat Kohlis bat attacked fiercely and he played an important role in taking the team to the final. Even though he missed out on scoring a half-century against Punjab Kings he made a new IPL record in his name. He left Shikhar Dhawan behind in terms of hitting the most fours.
RCB legend Virat Kohli added another feather to his illustrious career during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final of IPL 2025. Virat Kohli has been the face of the IPL since its inception and has many records to his name but an IPL trophy still eludes him.
Virat Kohli creates history:
When Kohli came out to bat after Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to bat he broke a major record that was in the name of veteran Shikhar Dhawan. As soon as Virat Kohli hit his first boundary he surpassed Dhawan in the list of most fours in the IPL. Both Kohli and Dhawan had 768 fours to their name and Kohlis first boundary took him to the first spot in the league. Dhawan had achieved this feat in 221 innings while Kohli touched the milestone in the 258th innings. David Warner is in third place with 663 fours.
Kohli missed out on achieving a special achievement:
Kohli has scored 614 runs this season and can also leave Chris Gayle behind in a special list. If Kohli had scored 86 runs in this match he would have become the first player in the world to score 700 runs three times in an IPL season. Kohli was out after playing an innings of 43 runs on 35 balls. Kohli had previously scored 973 runs in IPL 2016 and 741 runs in IPL 2024. At the same time Gayle had scored 700+ runs in consecutive seasons in 2012 and 2013.
