NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli has etched his name in Indian Premier League (IPL) history by becoming the first player to amass an astounding 3000 runs at a single venue. This extraordinary achievement underscores Kohli's unparalleled consistency and dominance in the tournament.
The star Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter achieved the feat during the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.
He got to the landmark with a massive six over long leg off Tushar Deshpande.
The next highest run-scorer at a single venue is former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, who has scored 2295 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.


Kohli's accomplishment is a testament to his exceptional batting skills, unwavering focus, and ability to perform consistently under pressure. His record at the Chinnaswamy Stadium is a source of pride for the RCB, which has benefited immensely from his prolific run-scoring.
It is worth noting that Kohli's long-time teammate and South African legend, AB de Villiers, is third on the list of most runs scored at a single venue in the IPL.
De Villiers has scored 1960 runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, further highlighting the formidable partnership that he and Kohli have forged over the years.
