Riding high on his remarkable IPL career, Virat Kohli's name stands tall in the league's history books. Known for his impressive consistency, Kohli holds the title of the highest run-scorer in IPL with 8,447 runs to his name. A testament to his unwavering loyalty, Kohli is the only player to represent a single franchise across all 18 IPL seasons, making his legacy unparalleled [1][2].
As the IPL season heats up, Kohli is setting his sights on another record-breaking feat. His next target: surpassing David Warner's record for the most runs scored against a single team. Currently, Warner tops the list with 1,134 runs against Punjab Kings, and Kohli's tally against CSK sits just behind at 1,084 runs [1][2]. With his solid track record against CSK, it's not surprising to envision Kohli breaching that mark in front of his home crowd [3].
It's not just CSK where Kohli has shone. He's also put up impressive scores against other franchises, including 1,130 runs vs Delhi Capitals, 1,104 vs Punjab Kings, and 1,021 vs Kolkata Knight Riders [4].
This upcoming match between RCB and CSK is more than just a personal milestone for Kohli. It's also an opportunity for RCB to make history as a team. The squad has never beaten CSK twice in the league stage of any IPL season. A win on Saturday would mark the first time RCB completes a double over CSK in one season, becoming another memorable chapter in this long-standing rivalry [3].
As both teams gear up for this high-stakes clash, the stage is set for Kohli to rise to the occasion. Not just for personal accolades, but also to boost his team's position in the points table [4].
