The only batsman to score more than 7000 runs
Kohli has scored the most runs in IPL. It can be understood from how well his bat has performed in the IPL that Shikhar Dhawan is in second place with 6769 runs. That means Kohli is the only batsman to score more than 1000 runs, now he has a chance to complete 8000 runs as well. Due to which they are now only 29 runs behind.
Kohli has a chance to make a record
RCB team has confirmed its place in the IPL playoffs. Now RCB will face Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator. It should be expected that Kohli will play big innings with his bat in that match and will be successful in completing eight thousand runs. If the team wins that match then they will also get a chance to play Qualifier-2. If he scores 29 runs, he will reach 8 thousand runs this year, but if he misses, he will have to wait till next year. It remains to be seen how Kohli performs in the next match.
