IPL 2024, RR vs RCB: Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are face to face in the eliminator match of IPL season 17. In this match held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, after losing the toss, RCB came on the field to bat first. Meanwhile, RCB opening batsman Virat Kohli has created a big record in the IPL. Actually, after scoring 29 runs in today’s match, Virat has completed his 8,000 runs in IPL. Virat has become the first batsman to achieve this feat.
Let us tell you that Shikhar Dhawan is at the second position in terms of scoring the most runs in IPL history, who has 6,769 runs in 222 matches. That means there is a huge difference of 1,235 runs between Kohli and Dhawan who are at the first and second positions.

Let us tell you that in today’s match, as usual, Virat and Faf Du Plessis had come to open for RCB. But both of them could not do anything special. On the score of 37 in the fifth over, Trent Boult got Duplessis caught by Rovman Powell and dismissed him. He was out after scoring 17 runs in 14 balls with the help of two fours and a six. After this, Bengaluru got its second blow at the score of 56 in the eighth over. Whereas Kohli was out after scoring 33 runs in 24 balls, Chahal got him caught by Donovan Ferreira. In his innings of 33 runs, he hit three fours and one six.
Virat can destroy this record also
It is noteworthy that apart from becoming 8th Hazari, Virat Kohli also has a chance to destroy a record made by himself. Actually, Virat created a stir with the bat in the 2016 IPL. In that season, he played 16 matches and scored 973 runs, which is still the record for most runs in a single season of IPL.
Virat has scored 708 runs in IPL 2024
Talking about IPL 2024, like 2016, in this season too Virat is scoring runs with the bat. You can guess this from the fact that he has scored 741 runs in 15 matches so far this year. He is the only batsman who has crossed the 700 mark. They still need 232 runs from here. It is not a big deal for a batsman like Kohli to score in three matches. But for this Kohli will have to play a big innings. Not only this, a century will also be required from him but if Virat fails to do so, then he will have to wait for next year. If Bengaluru wins this match today, then how will Kohli perform in the next match.
