Virat Kohli records most sixes at a single venue in T20 cricket for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Not only this, but Virat Kohli also broke the massive record of Chris Gayle. The India National Cricket Team batter now has the most sixes at a single venue in T20 cricket. The right-hander now has over 152 sixes at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Most sixes at a single venue in T20 cricket:

Virat Kohli - 152* at Bengaluru.

Chris Gayle - 151 at Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli ended with an innings of 62 runs off 33 balls. The right-hander had a strike rate of over 187 and also hit five boundaries and five sixes during his stay. His powerful start set a great platform for the team as they posted a big total on the board. With this, he also became the leading run-getter in IPL 2025 and became the second batter this season to go past 500 runs.

With the kind of outing that he has been having in the league, it's fair to say he will easily go past 600 runs.

In the end, Romario Shepherd (52*) slammed a 14-ball fifty that powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a total of 213 runs. Apart from Kohli and Shepherd, Bethell also hit a vital half-century.
