Virat Kohli scripted history as he became the first batter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to hit 800 fours. Kohli achieved the milestone during his knock of 81 runs in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) match against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday (April 24, 2026).
Virat Kohli now has 807 boundaries to his name in 274 IPL matches, the most by any batter in the tournament’s history. He is well clear of the second-placed Shikhar Dhawan on the list of batters with the most boundaries in IPL. Dhawan has 768 fours to his name.
