Virat Kohli, the run-machine from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, made history by becoming the first batter to smash 8,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the Eliminator clash against Rajasthan Royals. Kohli's exceptional performance in the 2024 IPL season saw him surpass the 700-run mark, solidifying his position as one of the greatest batters in the league. Despite his impressive run, Kohli faced a tough battle against his former teammate Yuzvendra Chahal, who managed to dismiss him after a quick 33 runs off 24 deliveries. With a strike rate of 154.69 and multiple half-centuries, Kohli's dominance on the field is unmatched. As the Orange Cap holder, Kohli's achievements in the IPL 2024 season are truly remarkable, setting him apart as a cricketing legend.
