Virat Kohli shattered an incredible record in the IPL 2024 season opener against Chennai Super Kings, becoming the first Indian cricketer to amass 12,000 runs in T20 cricket.<\/p>\n
Since the inception of T20 cricket in 2008, Kohli has been a stalwart in the format, consistently delivering exceptional performances for Team India. Often compared to the legendary \u2018master blaster\u2019 Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli has seamlessly shouldered the responsibility of leading India\u2019s batting lineup.<\/p>\n
In the first game of the 2024 IPL season, Kohli set his sights on achieving this historic milestone. Just 6 runs away from the coveted 12,000-run mark, Kohli clinched the record with a single in the 7th over.<\/p>\n
Making his T20I debut in 2010, Kohli quickly emerged as India\u2019s leading run-scorer in the format, tallying 4,037 runs. In the IPL, he boasts an impressive record, accumulating a staggering 7,269* runs in 238* matches, which includes seven centuries and 50 half-centuries.<\/p>\n
Other players who managed to achieve this milestone \u2013<\/p>\n
\u2013 Chris Gayle (14,562 runs)
\n\u2013 Shoaib Malik (12,993 runs)
\n\u2013 Kieron Pollard (12,390 runs)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
