King Kohli 103 Runs Short of Creating IPL History

Virat Kohli stands on the cusp of an extraordinary milestone in the IPL. The RCB batting star requires a mere 103 runs against Delhi Capitals on Sunday to become the first player in tournament history to amass 8,000 runs. Kohli will be playing his 250th IPL match in this encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The former RCB captain has already etched his name as the IPL's highest run-scorer with 7,897 runs from 249 matches. He leads the IPL 2024 Orange Cap race with 634 runs from 12 games so far, including a blistering 92 against Punjab Kings recently.

For RCB, this clash is crucial to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss would eliminate them from the race. All eyes will be on Kohli to deliver a match-winning performance and reach the 8,000-run landmark in this high-stakes game.

The 34-year-old has been a lynchpin for RCB since the IPL's inception in 2008. His remarkable consistency and big-match prowess have made him one of the tournament's all-time greats. Achieving 8,000 IPL runs will be the crowning glory of Kohli's storied IPL career so far.

Fans and pundits alike eagerly await this potential record-setting innings from the modern batting master. If Kohli scores the required 103 runs, he will join an elite list of IPL legends and etch his name permanently in tournament lore.
