Virat Kohli managed to collect more than 500 runs in an IPL season
For the eighth time in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL), Virat Kohli has surpassed the 500-run mark. After managing to score 741 runs in IPL 2024, the batting maestro has amassed 505 runs from 11 games and still has at least 4 more games to add more runs to his name. Despite calling it a day from T20Is, Kohli has proved that he has still got it and has clearly silenced his critics with his consistency in IPL 2025.
Virat Kohli – the undisputed King of IPL
Kohli already has seven half-centuries to his name in IPL 2025 from 11 innings. He averages 63.12 and boasts of a strike rate of 143.46. Virat’s best IPL season came in 2016 when he amassed 973 runs, including 4 hundreds and 7 half-centuries. Although he is yet to score a century in the ongoing season, he has shown stellar consistency, providing RCB with the much-needed stability at the top of the order.
