With this achievement, Kohli becomes only the third Indian to achieve this remarkable feat, joining the elite company of:

  • Rohit Sharma – 448 T20 matches
  • Dinesh Karthik – 412 T20 matches

Kohli’s consistency, longevity, and dedication have cemented his place as one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

Kohli’s Glorious T20 Career

Virat Kohli’s journey in T20 cricket began in April 2007 when he made his debut for Delhi in the Inter-State Twenty20 Tournament. His exceptional domestic performances and leadership in India’s U19 World Cup victory earned him a contract with RCB in the inaugural IPL season of 2008. Since then, Kohli has remained loyal to RCB, becoming the only player in IPL history to represent a single franchise in all seasons.

Here’s a look at Kohli’s extraordinary T20 career:
Total Matches: 400
Runs Scored: 12,886
Centuries: 9
Half-Centuries: 97
T20I Runs for India: 4188 runs in 141 matches
IPL Runs: 8004 runs with 8 centuries

Kohli is also the highest run-scorer in IPL history, with his unforgettable 973-run season in 2016 still holding the record for the most runs in a single edition.

Kohli’s Record-Breaking T20 Journey

Kohli made his T20 International debut for India in 2010 against Zimbabwe under the captaincy of Suresh Raina. He retired from T20Is after leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 and remains the tournament’s all-time leading run-scorer with 1292 runs at an average of 58.72.

In IPL 2025, Kohli will be playing under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, bringing a new dynamic to RCB’s campaign.

Kohli’s IPL Legacy with RCB

Virat Kohli has been the backbone of RCB for 18 straight IPL seasons and remains the only active player from the inaugural KKR-RCB clash in 2008 to feature in IPL 2025. His commitment to the franchise and his unmatched consistency make him a fan favorite and a legend of the game.

With 400 T20 matches under his belt, Kohli shows no signs of slowing down. As RCB aims to clinch their maiden IPL title in 2025, all eyes will be on Kohli to lead from the front and guide the team to glory.
