The opener’s knock saw him move past the 600-run mark in IPL 2024.

This is the 4th time Kohli has smashed 600 runs or more in the franchise tournament.

[{"selector":"#anim-35612d40-56b6-4cd0-90c1-d4fead56ac6f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.6524679182821497%, 0.3456861253372926%) scale(0.8849557522123894)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

He has joined KL Rahul as the only two cricketers to have achieved this feat.

Kohli breached the 600-run milestone in 2013 for the 1st time.

[{"selector":"#anim-906cbc25-dcac-4a97-a408-2edbcdbe9583 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.045183153257571e-15%, 5.357142315360631%) scale(0.8928571428571429)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

He achieved it again in 2016, 2023 and 2024.

KL Rahul recorded this feat for the 1st time in 2018 when he notched 659 runs.

[{"selector":"#anim-d4008a41-7a5a-43b2-9913-61f95d999168 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(2.172948640216506%, -3.2825628750877476%) scale(0.8403361344537815)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
