It has been a decade since Virat Kohli set the record for the highest run-scoring season in the Indian Premier League, a feat that remains untouched to this day. However, recent performances suggest that Kohli himself may break his own record this year. Despite being 37 years old, Kohli has been in exceptional form in the last three IPL seasons, accumulating a total of 2037 runs from 44 matches. His recent success has silenced critics, with Kohli even securing his second Orange Cap in IPL 2024. With his focus on the upcoming 2027 World Cup, Kohli is poised to deliver another outstanding performance in the IPL this year. His return to competitive cricket after a break has been marked by impressive performances in ODIs and domestic tournaments, showcasing his unwavering batting prowess. As the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, gear up for the new season, Kohli’s teammates believe he has the potential to break records once again and claim the Orange Cap. With comparisons to legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar, 2026 could be the year Kohli cements his legacy in cricket history.
