Virat Kohli became the first Indian cricketer to score 12,000 runs in T20 cricket during the opening match of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings.
Kohli achieved this milestone after facing the ninth ball of the next over, bowled by Sri Lankan captain Mahesh Thikshana, by taking two runs, thus completing his 12,000 T20 runs.
With this accomplishment, Kohli solidifies his status as one of the most prolific batsmen in T20 cricket, having scored 8 centuries and 91 half-centuries in his T20 career for India, Delhi, India A, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
