Sat Mar 22 16:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Kohli Achieves Unprecedented IPL Milestone: 4,000 Runs Against 4 Different Teams
**Kolkata, India** – Virat Kohli smashed another record in the Indian Premier League (IPL), becoming the first player in the tournament’s history to score 1,000 runs against four different teams. Kohli achieved the feat during Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday at Eden Gardens.
His unbeaten 59-run knock, including three sixes and four fours off just 36 balls, powered RCB to victory. The innings, which included a blistering start with two consecutive sixes in the third over, saw Kohli reach his half-century in just 30 balls. His contribution, along with that of Faf du Plessis, secured a strong start for RCB, accumulating 80 runs in the powerplay.
However, the highlight was the single run Kohli scored in the 11th over, which pushed his career total against KKR past the 1,000-run mark. Previously, only Rohit Sharma and David Warner had achieved the milestone against KKR, but Kohli’s accomplishment is unique: He is now the only IPL player to have reached 1,000 runs against four different teams – KKR, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings. He is expected to add a fifth team to this list soon. This milestone further solidifies Kohli’s legacy as one of the IPL’s all-time greats.
