Virat Kohli on the Verge of IPL Milestone: 300 Sixes

Virat Kohli is on the brink of achieving another historic milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Royal Challengers Bengaluru star is just three sixes away from joining an exclusive club of power-hitters, making headlines as he moves closer to this impressive feat.

The Path to 300 Sixes

As of now, Kohli has smashed 297 sixes in IPL history. He began the 2026 season with 291 sixes and has already added six more in his first two matches. If he clears the boundary rope three more times, he will be a part of an elite group featuring Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma—a significant accomplishment in the tournament’s history.

Kohli’s Stellar Form in IPL 2026

This season, Virat Kohli has displayed sublime form, showcasing his trademark consistency and aggressive stroke play.

• RCB vs SRH (March 28): 69* off 38 balls, including 5 sixes
• RCB vs CSK (April 5): 28 off 18 balls, with 1 six

Upcoming Challenge Against Rajasthan Royals

Kohli will have a chance to reach the milestone during today’s match against the Rajasthan Royals at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. With his current form, the landmark achievement could happen sooner than anticipated.

However, it’s worth noting that Kohli has faced a challenging rivalry against Rajasthan’s Sandeep Sharma. In their 18 encounters, Sandeep has dismissed Kohli seven times, restricting him to just 132 runs. This unique matchup adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming clash.

Records and Achievements

The 300-sixes milestone is just one of the many records Kohli continues to pursue. Recently, he surpassed Rohit Sharma for the most runs against a single opponent in T20s, amassing 1,188 runs against the Chennai Super Kings. He also holds the record for the most sixes for a single franchise, having crossed 300 sixes for RCB across IPL and CLT20 in 2025.

With form on his side and a milestone within reach, all eyes will be on Kohli as he faces the Rajasthan Royals. He has scored 896 runs in 33 matches against them, the most by any player against this franchise, signaling potential for another standout performance.
