Even though Virat Kohli has retired from T20 International, even though questions are raised about his strike rate in this format, his performance continues in IPL 2026. Virat is not only scoring a lot of runs, but is also doing it at a fast pace. Virat Kohli, who has scored the most runs so far this season for Royal Challengers Bangalore, is close to breaking a big record by continuing this trend and for this he will have to score a century in the match against Gujarat Titans.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Gujarat Titans in the 42nd match of IPL 2026. This match is going to be held at Gujarat's home ground Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This will be the second match of this season between the two teams. In the first match, Bengaluru had won easily and Kohli had played an excellent inning of 81 runs. In such a situation, Gujarat will enter this match with the intention of equalizing the score of the previous defeat. Although Gujarat captain Shubman Gill will also be present in this match, but eyes will still be on Kohli.

In the match played between the two in Bengaluru, RCB star Kohli missed a century and was out after scoring 81 runs. But considering his strong form and excellent record against Gujarat, a big innings will be expected from him again in this match and it should not be a surprise if he scores a century. Kohli has 432 runs in his name in 7 innings against Gujarat, which includes 1 century and 4 half-centuries. Now if Kohli crosses the 100 mark in this match, he will make a big record in his name.

If Virat Kohli scores 106 runs in this match, he will complete his 14000 runs in T20 cricket. By doing this, he will become only the sixth but fastest batsman in the world. Kohli has so far scored 13894 runs in 405 innings of 422 T20 matches. If he is successful in this, then the record of West Indies legend Chris Gayle will be broken, who had touched this figure in 423 innings and made the record.
