The roar around the IPL has become louder once again, and this time it belongs to Virat Kohli. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru icon scripted history after achieving a sensational all-time T20 record during IPL 2026, surpassing legends like Babar Azam and Chris Gayle.
Kohli’s latest feat once again underlines why he remains one of the greatest white-ball batters of the modern era. Even at a stage where younger stars are dominating franchise cricket, the former India captain continues to deliver with remarkable consistency and hunger.
Fans at the stadium erupted as Kohli crossed the landmark during RCB’s high-voltage clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Social media platforms instantly exploded with tributes, with cricket lovers calling it yet another “King Kohli masterclass.”
What makes the achievement even more special is the pressure surrounding IPL 2026. With playoff spots on the line, every innings carries massive importance, and Kohli has repeatedly stepped up for Bengaluru in crunch moments.
The record also reflects his incredible longevity in T20 cricket. From dominating bowlers in the early IPL seasons to adapting flawlessly to modern power-hitting demands, Kohli has evolved with the format while maintaining elite standards.
As IPL 2026 heads toward its business end, Kohli’s form could become the biggest weapon for RCB’s title ambitions. And judging by the way he is batting, the “King” may not be done rewriting history just yet.
