One of the world's formidable batters, Virat Kohli is on the verge of becoming the first-ever Indian cricketer to score 12000 runs in T20 cricket. After 14 months of making a comeback in the T20Is, Kohli is just 6 runs away from creating history in the cricketing world. 

While his fans were hoping to achieve the same feat in the last game where he made a comeback, unfortunately, the right-hander got out while playing aggressively, scoring 29 off 16 deliveries. Although the fans were all over his blistering cameo, they could not see him cross that 12,000-run mark. 

As the Indian team is all set to take on the Afghanistan team for the one last time in the three-match T20I series in Bangalore, which is also Virat's favourite part of India, where he possibly can achieve this monumental feat. There's a no better venue than Bangalore's Chinnaswamy stadium for him to reach this amazing milestone.

Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from the first season of the IPL, Virat is undoubtedly the most loved cricketer among the fans of Bangalore. It will be nothing short of a treat to watch for his fans to see him becoming the first-ever Indian cricketer to score 12000 runs in the T20 format. 

Considering the way Kohli kickstarted his innings in the last game which was also his comeback game, the fans might see Virat stepping into this record with a six. The run machine of India is also the highest scorer in T20I cricket and the only batter to have scored over 4000 T20I runs. 

Winning the first two T20Is, India have already sealed the series and would be looking to close this series on a winning note heading into the T20 World Cup 2024.
