The Rajasthan Royals opener has shown glimpses of brilliance, but consistency has remained elusive, with just three fifty-plus scores in IPL 2026 so far.

Another near-miss for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who falls agonizingly short of a century for the second consecutive innings.

Here's a look at Virat Kohli's run tally across every IPL season. 👑

For nearly two decades, Kohli has been the definition of consistency in the IPL. But the last two seasons have elevated his legacy to another level. No player had ever recorded two 600+ run seasons while winning the IPL title, yet Kohli shattered that benchmark with back-to-back 650+ run campaigns as RCB lifted consecutive trophies. 🐐🏆🏆
