Virat Kohli continues to set benchmarks in the Indian Premier League with his unmatched consistency. Even after achieving a remarkable milestone multiple times, his hunger for runs remains relentless.
Kohli has already scored 400 or more runs in an IPL season 10 times, the most by any player in the tournament’s history. Now, in IPL 2026, he is just 72 runs away from reaching that mark for the 11th time, further extending his own record.
The upcoming match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium presents the perfect opportunity for him to achieve this feat.
How Others Compare
While Kohli leads comfortably, a few other greats have also shown consistency:
- Shikhar Dhawan – 9 times
- Suresh Raina – 9 times
- David Warner – 9 times
This comparison highlights how far ahead Kohli is when it comes to sustained performance over seasons.
Orange Cap in Sight
Along with this milestone, Kohli is also firmly in contention for the Orange Cap in IPL 2026. Crossing the 400-run mark again would significantly strengthen his position in the race for the top run-scorer.
Despite already achieving this record multiple times, Kohli’s ambition shows no signs of slowing down—proving once again why he remains one of the most consistent and driven players in IPL history.
