    What's the story

    Indian maestro Virat Kohli has become the first-ever batter to complete 7,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    He attained the feat during the 50th match of IPL 2023 against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

    Kohli achieved the mark when he scored the 12th run in this match.

    RCB opted to bat first in a crunch battle in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.

    With 7,000-plus runs in 232 games, Kohli owns the most runs in the competition's history.

    Shikhar Dhawan (6,536), David Warner (6,189), and Rohit Sharma (6,063) are the only other batters with over 6,000 IPL runs.

    Notably, Kohli owns 49 fifties and five centuries.

    His highest IPL score of 113 was recorded versus Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2016.
