Virat Kohli - (Source:@Johns/X.com)
On Friday, March 28, two heavyweights, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will lock horns against each other at the Chepauk Stadium in match 8 of IPL 2025. The two teams have got off to a great start in the tournament as they registered a win in their opening matches of the ongoing season.
Eyes would be on Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni as the two veterans are the biggest crowd-pullers. Talking about Virat, the former RCB captain got off to the perfect start as he slammed a fifty and helped the Challengers beat Knight Riders.
Further, the right-hand batter would be looking to further hog the headlines with a solid performance against the Men in Yellow. Meanwhile, this article will shed light on five records that Virat can break against CSK at the Chepauk Stadium.
1. 13,000 Runs In T20s
Virat Kohli is just 55 runs away from completing 13,000 runs in T20s. He will become the first Indian and 5th overall to complete 13000 runs in T20s. Here is the complete list of players with the most T20 runs.
- 14562 - Chris Gayle (463 matches)
- 13610 - Alex Hales (494 matches)
- 13537 - Kieron Pollard (695 matches)
- 13535 - Shoaib Malik (553 matches)
- 12945 - Virat Kohli (400 matches)
2. Most Runs Against CSK
The most important feat that Virat would be eyeing to complete against CSK would be to become the highest-run-getter against the Men in Yellow. At present, Shikhar Dhawan tops the list with 1057 runs, and Kohli is just five runs away from achieving that feat.
- 1057 - Shikhar Dhawan (29 inns)
- 1053 - Virat Kohli (32 inns)
3. 5000 Runs In T20s As Opener
Another feat that is waiting to be broken in 5000 runs in T20s. At present, Virat has 4962 runs in T20s as an opener and requires just 38 runs. Here is the complete list of most runs as openers in T20s
- 13469 - Chris Gayle
- 12857 - Alex Hales
- 11712 - David Warner
- 9697 - Aron Finch
- 9684 - Quinton de Kock
4. 1000 Fours In T20s In Asia
Virat Kohli is also just nine fours away from completing 1000 fours in T20 cricket in Asia. He scored four fours in RCB's first match against KKR and reached 991 fours in T20 cricket. If Virat goes onto score a 70 or in fact a century, then he would break all these four records against CSK.
5. 150 Catches In T20s
For the fifth record, Virat Kohli needs four more catches to complete 150 catches in T20s in Asia. The likeliness for this record to be etched during CSK match is unlikely as four catches are a lot during a match. Nonetheless, Virat can break these five records against CSK.
