New Delhi. Till now no batsman has been able to score even 8000 runs in IPL… but Virat Kohli is a player of a different league. In the 19th season of IPL, Virat Kohli created history on Monday when he completed his 9000 runs in the league. He became the first batsman to touch the figure of 9 thousand. This achievement is the biggest proof of his continuity. Interestingly, Rohit Sharma, who is at second position, is 1829 runs behind him, that too despite playing more innings.
Even in his 19th year, Kohli is continuously improving himself. Scoring runs has always been his identity, but now he has added more aggression to his batting, without losing consistency. Kohli touched this historic figure by taking one run on the last ball of the powerplay against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The special thing is that there is also a pavilion named after him on this ground.
Batsmen who scored the most runs in IPL:
* Virat Kohli – 9012 runs
* Rohit Sharma – 7183 runs
* Shikhar Dhawan – 6769 runs
* David Warner – 6565 runs
* KL Rahul – 5580 runs
