The domination of the RCB captain has been like no other cricketer in this tournament. The Virat juggernaut has shattered almost every record that was up for grabs at the start of the tournament. The 27-year-old now also holds the records for most runs in an IPL career with 4110 runs from 139 matches at an average of 38.05 and a strike rate of 130.43 with 4 centuries and 26 half centuries. He has hit 359 fours, 149 sixes and has also taken 55 catches in his IPL career.

Previously, Virat’s fellow countryman Suresh Raina held this record who had 3699 runs prior to this season, from 132 games. Raina was also one of the most prolific run-scorer this season, as he scored 399 runs from 15 games and now has 4098 IPL runs.
