Virat Kohli Creates History: Becomes First Player to Score 1000 Fours and Sixes in IPL
Virat Kohli, the talismanic Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter, continues to redefine cricketing greatness in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the 2025 season, he etched his name into the record books by becoming the first player ever to register a combined total of 1000 fours and sixes in IPL history. This historic milestone was achieved during the match between RCB and Delhi Capitals at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Though Kohli’s personal achievement stood out, RCB couldn’t avoid a defeat at home, falling short against a dominant DC side led by KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs.
