Virat Kohli punched out a scintillating 70* against Gujarat Titans at the latter’s home ground at Ahmedabad in match number 45 of the IPL 2024 season. The legendary RCB opener clattered six boundaries and three sixes in his match-winning knock, and extended his IPL 2024 tally to 500 runs.

Through the course of his innings, Kohli also levelled up with active Delhi Capitals opener and former SRH captain David Warner for a huge batting record in IPL.

Virat Kohli is the current recipient of the ‘Orange Cap’, leading second-placed Sai Sudharsan by 82 runs. Through his run-chase masterclass against Gujarat Titans, Kohli even completed 500 runs this IPL 2024 season. As of now, his current IPL 2024 tally stands at an exact 500 from 10 innings at a splendid average of 71.42.

Remarkably, Kohli’s latest feat means that the cricketer has scored at least 500 or more runs in a single IPL season seven times in his illustrious career. He levelled up with active Delhi Capitals opener David Warner, who has also attained the feat seven times in his IPL journey.

Kohli completed 500 runs in a season for the second time in succession, considering he bashed 639 runs last year at an average of over 53. In addition to his latest batting feat, the RCB zealot further holds a number of huge IPL batting milestones, which includes the record of scoring most runs in a single edition (973 runs in 2016) and most runs overall in tournament’s history.

Warner, on the other hand, scored more than 500 runs in a season in his six successive IPL appearances from 2014 till 2020. He also tallied 516 runs last year for the Capitals at an average of nearly 37.
