The Indian Premier League (IPL) record-breaking performance of Virat Kohli has received considerable acclaim. He currently holds the record for most runs scored in a tournament with 6788 runs in 226 games. By amassing 973 runs in just 16 matches during the 2016 IPL, Kohli established a new standard and propelled Royal Challengers Bangalore to the championship game.

Despite his excellent performance, RCB was unsuccessful in capturing the championship that year. Since joining RCB more than ten years ago, Kohli and his South African counterpart AB de Villiers have established themselves as two of the most exciting and reliable players in the IPL.
