Virat Kohli’s explosive performance during the IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders marked a historic moment as he surpassed Chris Gayle to claim the record for the most sixes hit for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). This remarkable feat unfolded at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on a Friday evening.
In an innings filled with power-packed shots, Kohli not only eclipsed Gayle’s tally but also surpassed AB de Villiers’ six-hitting record for RCB (Most sixes for RCB IPL). His unbeaten innings of 83 runs off 59 balls showcased his prowess, including four towering sixes and an equal number of fours (Virat Kohli vs KKR highlights).
While Gayle boasts the overall record for the most sixes in IPL history, with an impressive 357 maximums in 141 innings, Kohli’s achievement now places him as the leading six-hitter for RCB specifically (Chris Gayle IPL sixes record). With this, Kohli secures his position as the fourth most prolific six-hitter in the entire IPL history (Kohli 4th highest six hitter IPL).
The revised list of the most sixes hit for RCB in IPL history stands as follows:
- Virat Kohli – 241 sixes (Virat Kohli record sixes RCB)
- Chris Gayle – 239 sixes (Kohli surpasses Gayle RCB sixes record)
- AB de Villiers – 238 sixes
This achievement further cements Virat Kohli’s legacy as a true batting legend.
