With a stellar performance in the recent matches, Kohli has not only propelled his team but also etched his name in the annals of cricketing history.
In a thrilling encounter against Punjab, Kohli exhibited his batting prowess by scoring a commendable 77 runs off just 49 balls, earning him the well-deserved Man of the Match title. However, it was his remarkable innings against Kolkata that truly captivated the audience. Playing a captain’s knock, Kohli remained unbeaten with a splendid 83 runs off 59 deliveries, adorned with 4 fours and as many sixes. Despite Kohli’s valiant effort, Bengaluru fell short, succumbing to Kolkata’s formidable lineup.
Nevertheless, amidst the disappointment, Kohli achieved a remarkable milestone. With a cumulative total of 3276* runs at the M Chinnaswamy Cricket Ground in Bengaluru, Kohli surpassed Bangladesh’s Musfiqur Rahim to clinch the record for the most runs scored at a specific ground in T20 cricket. Rahim’s previous record of 3239 runs at the Mirpur Stadium in Bangladesh now stands eclipsed by Kohli’s stellar performance on his home turf.
This feat underscores Kohli’s exceptional consistency and dominance in the shortest format of the game. His ability to adapt to different conditions and deliver consistently has solidified his stature as one of the greatest batsmen of modern cricket.
Furthermore, Kohli’s prolific innings against Kolkata also saw him rewrite the record books by surpassing Chris Gayle’s tally of most sixes for a team in IPL history.
