Virat Kohli became the first man in IPL’s history to score 4000 career runs

The Virat Kohli saga continues here as well, as the Indian Test captain, during his run-scoring spree also breached the 4000-run mark in the IPL. He became the first man to score 4000 career runs in the IPL during his knock of 113 against the Kings XI Punjab on May 18, 2016, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

In that rain-hit encounter, the Royal Challengers had piled on a massive score of 211/3 off just 15 overs, wherein Chris Gayle had also scored big. The Caribbean had scored 73 runs off just 32 balls and had plundered the Punjab bowling to all parts of the ground along with his captain, Kohli.
