Royal Challengers Bangalore's star player, Virat Kohli, became the first Indian cricketer to play 100 T20 matches at a single venue. He achieved this milestone during the match between RCB and Lucknow Super Giants at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Kohli entered the game with a league-leading 3,276 runs at the Bengaluru venue, where he has played 99 previous matches. He boasts an average of 39.95 and a strike rate of 141.75. His dominant record at Chinnaswamy includes four centuries and 25 fifties. His highest T20 score of 113 (off 50 balls) came against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2016.
Kohli sits 56 runs shy of the 7,500-run mark in the Indian Premier League. He extends his lead over second-placed Shikhar Dhawan, who has scored 6,754 runs in the IPL.
Kohli currently shares the top spot for most runs in IPL 2024 with Riyan Parag, both with 181 runs. However, Parag holds the edge in average (181.00) and strike rate (160.17) compared to Kohli's 90.50 and 141.40, respectively.
The iconic stadium has been his IPL home since the inaugural season in 2008. He is the only player in IPL history to remain with the same franchise since its inception. While MS Dhoni has been with Chennai Super Kings since the first season, he had to play two seasons for Rising Pune Supergiant during Chennai's suspension.
Kohli also holds the record for most T20 runs scored at a single venue, with 3,276 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Rohit Sharma follows Kohli on the list for most T20s at a single venue by an Indian, having played 80 matches at the Wankhede Stadium.
