IPL 2025 / This big record of Virat Kohli has not been broken yet, will it be possible this time

IPL 2025: IPL 2025 is going to start from March 22 and on the very first day, cricket lovers will get to see a thrilling match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). As soon as the IPL starts, the question arises in the minds of the fans that who will score the most runs this time.

Virat Kohli's historical performance

The 2016 IPL season was a golden chapter in Virat Kohli's career, where he scored 973 runs in just 16 matches and created a record which no batsman has been able to break till date. Kohli scored four centuries and seven half-centuries this season, making both his average and strike rate very impressive.

Will Kohli be able to break his own record?

Virat Kohli once again performed brilliantly in 2024 and scored 741 runs in 15 matches. However, this was a far cry from the figures of 2016. Kohli himself has not been able to break his own record so far. This proves how difficult it is to score 973 runs.

What new will we see this time?

In IPL 2025, many other great batsmen including Virat Kohli will try to break this record. But will any batsman be able to cross this magical figure? The answer to this can be found from the performance of the players in the initial matches. Without consistent great form and patience, touching this record will not be easy.

Conclusion

Every season of IPL brings new hopes and excitement for cricket lovers. This time too all eyes will be on Virat Kohli and other leading batsmen. Will any player be able to cross the 973 run mark or will this record remain? We will get the answer to this in the coming weeks.
