On his home ground, Kohli became the first player to score 7000 runs in IPL history during a match against Delhi Capitals. The RCB captain achieved this milestone with a glorious cut-short off Axar Patel and completed his 7000 runs in front of his childhood coach, whom he sought blessings from before the game.
