Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has achieved another milestone while playing against Rajasthan Royals in his 4th match of IPL 2021. He became the first player in IPL to score 6,000 runs in IPL history.
The 32-year-old has a glorious career ranging from international to domestic cricket, but one of the major things missing in his trophy cabinet is the IPL trophy. Despite being so consistent, RCB hasn’t won the Indian Premier League title yet. However, Virat’s men have won their first 4 matches of IPL 2021 and have a very realistic chance of winning the IPL 2021 title.
