Virat Kohli has done something in IPL which no one could do before. History has been created in the first qualifier match against Gujarat Titans. After scoring 43 runs, Virat became the first batsman to score 600+ runs in four consecutive seasons. Earlier, Virat had also scored more than 600 runs in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Virat has now scored 600 runs after playing 15 matches in the IPL 2026 season. In Qualifier 1 against Gujarat, he played an inning of 43 runs in 25 balls. In the 2026 season, Virat Kohli has scored one century and 4 fifties.

600+ runs in 4 consecutive seasons

Virat Kohli is the first batsman in the history of IPL to have scored 600+ runs in four consecutive seasons. Chris Gayle and KL Rahul had scored 600 or more runs for three consecutive seasons, but Virat has now gone ahead of them.

• 639 runs – IPL 2023
• 741 runs – IPL 2024
• 657 runs – IPL 2025
• 600 runs – IPL 2026

Virat Kohli’s record in the playoffs has not been very good. Till now he has played 18 playoff matches, in which Virat has been able to score 439 runs. In the history of playoffs, only two half-century innings have come from Virat’s bat. He also failed to do the same against Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier of IPL 2026.

It is also an amazing fact that Virat has scored more runs in IPL than he has scored in his entire Test career. Virat has scored 9261 runs in his historic IPL career of 282 matches, whereas in his Test career he had scored 9230 runs.

Average 50+ every time

These figures of Virat Kohli are also heart-warming because in the last four seasons he has scored runs at an average of more than 50. In 2023, his average was 53.25, while in 2024 he scored runs at an excellent average of 61.75. Last season 54.75 and now in IPL 2026, he has scored runs at an average of more than 50.

Virat Kohli is not called ‘King of Records’ for nothing. Now in the Indian Premier League, he has made another such record, which seems almost impossible to break. Virat has completed his 500 runs in IPL 2026 and he achieved this milestone in the match against Punjab Kings. Virat is the first batsman in the world who has scored 500 or more runs in 9 different seasons.

So far, Virat Kohli has scored 542 runs in 13 innings played in IPL 2026. During this period, one century and 4 fifties have come from his bat. The thing to note is that Virat’s individual strike rate in the 2026 season has been the best in his entire IPL career. So far in IPL 2026, he has batted at a strike rate of 164.74.

Rohit currently has 50 centuries in his name in international cricket, if he scores 5 centuries this year, he will leave Lara and Jayawardene behind and equal Amla.

India defeated South Africa 2-1 in the three-match ODI series. Virat Kohli scored 302 runs in three matches, for which he also received the Player of the Series award. In this series, he also broke many records by scoring 2 centuries and one half-century. See here the list of 10 records that Virat Kohli has made in the ODI series against South Africa.

Virat Kohli made 10 records:

Most centuries in one format: Virat Kohli has also become the cricketer who has scored the most centuries in one format. Sachin Tendulkar had scored 51 centuries in Tests, but Virat now has 53 centuries in his name in ODI, which is the most in any one format.

Reached the 25th century mark on home grounds: Virat Kohli has become the first cricketer in the world to touch the figure of 25 ODI centuries on home grounds. He has now scored 26 centuries while playing on Indian grounds.

Most Player of the Series awards: Virat Kohli has become the cricketer to win the Player of the Series award the most number of times in men’s international cricket. He broke the record of Sachin Tendulkar (19). Virat has now become Player of the Series 20 times.

Most ODI centuries against South Africa: Virat Kohli has scored 7 centuries against South Africa, which is the highest in the world.

Virat and Rohit played most number of matches together: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have now become the Indian pair to play the most number of matches together in international cricket. They have now played 394 international matches together. He broke the record of 391 matches of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.

2 consecutive ODI centuries for the 11th time: Virat Kohli has done this for the 11th time in his ODI career, when he has scored a century in two consecutive innings. No one has been able to do this before him. After him in this list comes the name of AB de Villiers, who had done this 6 times.

50+ scores in 4 or more consecutive innings: Virat Kohli has done this 9 times in his ODI career, when he has scored 50 or more in 4 or more consecutive innings. 3 matches against South Africa and before that he had scored 74 runs in the last ODI against Australia.

Centuries at 34 different places: Virat Kohli has now scored centuries at 34 different places in his ODI career. In this matter he has equaled Sachin Tendulkar.

Record of century partnership of Rohit-Kohli: Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma made a century partnership for the 20th time in the history of ODI cricket. He equaled Kumar Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan. Now only Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly are ahead of him, who had made century partnerships 26 times.

Highest 50+ score against South Africa: Virat Kohli has made the record of scoring the most half-centuries against South Africa in all three formats combined. Virat has scored 50+ against South Africa 27 times.

Virat Kohli impressed with the bat in the ODI series against South Africa, in which he scored 2 centuries and one fifty. Talking about the last four innings, Kohli has scored 376 runs. Meanwhile, in the second ODI against South Africa in Raipur, he played an inning of 102 runs, which was the 84th century inning of his international career.

Sachin Tendulkar is at the forefront of scoring most centuries in international cricket. He is the first batsman in the world to score 100 centuries. Virat currently has 84 centuries, and to match Tendulkar he will have to score 16 more centuries. But the problem here is that if Virat, who is 37 years old, plays till the 2027 World Cup, then how many matches are left for him to reach the figure of 100 centuries.

How many matches are left for Team India?

The Indian team has to play 18 more ODI matches before the 2027 World Cup. There is no ODI match left for Team India in this year (2025), hence Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will now be seen in the jersey of Team India in 2026 only. This means that before the 2027 ODI World Cup, Virat Kohli has 18 matches left to touch the figure of 100 centuries. It seems almost impossible to score 16 centuries in these 18 matches.

Although the schedule of 2027 World Cup has not been released yet, but looking at the estimated World Cup format, if the Indian team plays 10 matches in the World Cup, then Virat may get 28 innings to score the next 16 centuries. The number of innings may increase or decrease according to the World Cup schedule. Overall, it seems very difficult for Virat to reach 100 centuries.

There are 18 matches left before the World Cup, even if Virat is able to perform exceptionally well and score a century in every other match, he will still be able to reach 93 centuries.
