AnotherRecordinIPKohli Achieves 1000 IPL Boundaries, Continues Record-Breaking Run

 

Virat Kohli has made an impressive beginning to the IPL 2025 campaign. In early matches, while representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he joined the list of the first in IPL history as he scored his 1000 boundaries, having reached this record in a match against Delhi Capitals on April 10th, 2025.

This milestone consists of 721 fours and 279 sixes. In the same game, he also became the second-quickest batsman to achieve 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. Up to April 11th, 2025, after five games, Kohli has made 186 runs with an average of 46.50 and a strike rate of 145.31, with two half-centuries and a top score of 67.

The IPL has grown into a term for boundary-bashing, with numerous superstars from around the globe dominating the statistics over time. While West Indies legend Chris Gayle hammered bowlers to reign supreme in the sixes tally, India superstar Virat Kohli transformed from a batter who could hammer fours with ease to becoming one of the most successful six-hitters in the IPL.

 

Kohli Breaks Six-Hitting Record at Chinnaswamy, Nears Boundary Milestone

 

Kohli now owns the record for most sixes achieved at a single venue, surpassing Chris Gayle's tally of 127 maximums at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli sits third on the all-time six-hitting list in the tournament, trailing only Gayle and fellow India teammate Rohit Sharma. The veteran West Indian, who crossed the milestone of 13,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket recently, also leads the charts for most fours struck in the IPL with over 720 boundaries, just ahead of former India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who has slammed 768 fours to date.

Perched on the cusp of a milestone, Kohli is poised to become the inaugural batter to smash 1000 aggregate boundaries in the cash-rich league. With 998 totals to his name, consisting of 278 muscular strikes over the ropes and 720 classically driven fours, the modern great is on the verge of etching his name into the record books yet again in his illustrious IPL career.

Other than that, the all-time top run scorer of IPL also had an opportunity to become the second player in the world to hit 100 fifties in T20s on Thursday. Kohli, who has 99 fifties to his credit in T20s, will be along with David Warner in the rare list if he reaches the mark of 50 runs on Thursday.

 

Conclusion

 

Virat Kohli has begun IPL 2025 in strong fashion, the first to 1000 boundaries and the second quickest to 13,000 T20 runs. With consistent performances early on, he keeps affirming his IPL legend and boundary-hitting record.
