Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stalwart Virat Kohli is on the verge of crossing the 400-run threshold once again in IPL 2026. This will mark the 11th time in his career that he achieves this feat in a single season. In IPL 2026, Virat Kohli is set to repeat a performance that he has already recorded 10 times before, a testament to his enduring hunger for runs.
Chasing the 11th 400-Run Milestone
Virat Kohli stands as the only batsman in IPL history to have surpassed the 400-run mark in 10 different seasons. He now has a golden opportunity to reach this milestone for the 11th time. Currently, Kohli is just 72 runs away from crossing the 400-run barrier in the IPL 2026 season.
Potential Record at Arun Jaitley Stadium
The stage is set for Kohli to reach this landmark at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, where RCB is scheduled to face Delhi Capitals. There could be no better setting for him to touch this milestone than during this crucial encounter in Delhi. Kohli needs exactly 72 runs in this match to complete 400 runs for the season.
Comparison with IPL Legends
Kohli's consistency puts him ahead of several legendary names in the tournament's history. The following players have crossed the 400-run mark 9 times each:
- Shikhar Dhawan: 9 times
- Suresh Raina: 9 times
- David Warner: 9 times
Orange Cap Contention
Virat Kohli is also actively involved in the race for the Orange Cap in IPL 2026. By surpassing the 400-run mark, he will further strengthen his contention for the leading run-scorer title this season.
