Virat Kohli made history in the IPL 2025 finale. He scored 54 runs off 30 balls, including 10 fours. This feat propelled him to 9000 runs for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He’s the only player to achieve this milestone for a single team in T20 cricket.
Kohli already held the top spot for most runs scored for a single team in T20s. Now, he’s the first to reach 9000 runs. Rohit Sharma follows closely, with 6060 runs for Mumbai Indians.
