In an important match of the Indian Premier League 2026, even though Virat Kohli’s bat did not perform well, he has made an unprecedented record in his name. This match has taken him to a new height in T20 cricket. In this exciting match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Kohli broke the old record of Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

King Kohli became run-machine

Virat Kohli has now become the batsman to score the most runs against a single team in T20 cricket history. In this high-voltage match played against Chennai Super Kings, Kohli faced 18 balls and scored 28 runs with the help of 2 fours and 1 six. Young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj dismissed him, but even before returning to the pavilion, Kohli added a new historical record to his name.

Rohit Sharma’s crown snatched

Before this match, this fantastic record was in the name of Rohit Sharma, who had scored a total of 1161 runs in 36 matches at an average of 40.03, which included one century and 7 half-centuries, against Kolkata Knight Riders. Kohli needed only 2 runs to break Rohit’s record, which he achieved easily in the first over. Now Virat Kohli has a total of 1188 runs in his name against Chennai Super Kings in 37 T20 matches at an average of 37.12, which includes 10 half-centuries.

A living example of continuity

In a fast-paced cricket format like T20, where there is a danger of getting out on every ball, to perform like this against a single team for consecutive years is no less than an achievement. This historical record shows that Virat Kohli’s greatness lies not only in scoring runs quickly but in maintaining consistency with his form and fitness over a long period of time.
