However, despite starting IPL 2020 in a bad way, Virat Kohli who had a high-score of just 14 runs in his first three games, got back to form against Rajasthan Royals where he scored a well-calculated 72-run knock taking his side to a win and has continued that good touch in this game as well, becoming the first Indian player to reach the landmark figure of 9000 runs in Twenty-20 cricket.

Virat Kohli who is the leading run-scorer in the Indian Premier League will become only the seventh cricketer in world cricket to achieve this extraordinary feat. The Indian skipper took 271 innings to achieve this milestone, scoring at an average of over 40 along with five centuries and 65 fifties. The RCB skipper has scored over 5500 runs in IPL and close to 3000 runs for Indian national team.
