IPL 2024, RR vs RCB: Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are face to face in the Eliminator match of IPL season 17. RCB has come to bat first after losing the toss in this match held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, RCB opener Virat Kohli has created a big record in IPL. In fact, by scoring 29 runs in today’s match, Virat has completed his 8,000 runs in IPL. Virat has become the first batsman to achieve this feat.
Let us tell you that in terms of scoring the most runs in IPL history, Shikhar Dhawan is at second place, who currently has 6,769 runs in 222 matches. That means there is a huge difference of 1,235 runs between Kohli and Dhawan who are in first and second place.

Let us tell you that in today’s match, as usual, Virat and Faf Du Plessis had come to open for RCB. But both of them could not do anything special. On the score of 37 in the fifth over, Trent Boult got Duplessis caught by Rovman Powell and dismissed him. He was out after scoring 17 runs in 14 balls with the help of two fours and a six. After this, Bengaluru got its second blow at the score of 56 in the eighth over. Whereas Kohli was out after scoring 33 runs in 24 balls, Chahal got him caught by Donovan Ferreira. In his innings of 33 runs, he hit three fours and one six.
Virat can break this record too
It is worth noting that apart from becoming an 8 thousander, Virat Kohli also has a chance to break a record made by himself. Actually, Virat’s bat rocked in the 2016 IPL. In that season, he scored 973 runs in 16 matches, which is still the record for most runs in a season of IPL.
Virat has scored 708 runs in IPL 2024
Talking about IPL 2024, like 2016, Virat is scoring a lot of runs with the bat in this season too. You can guess this from the fact that he has scored 741 runs in 15 matches so far this year. He is the only batsman who has crossed the 700 mark. He still needs 232 runs from here. Which is not a big deal for a batsman like Kohli to score in three matches. But for this Kohli will have to play a big innings. Not only this, he will also need a century, but if Virat misses out on doing so, then he will have to wait for next year. If Bangalore wins this match today, then how does Kohli perform in the next match.
