Virat Kohli Breaks Record at M Chinnaswamy Stadium
The legendary M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has witnessed some of the most stunning batting displays, but Kohli has now made his mark in the history books. He has officially recorded the most sixes at a single ground in T20 cricket, surpassing Chris Gayle, who previously held the record with 151 sixes at the same venue.
With this achievement, Virat Kohli shatters the record and is now standing tall as the greatest six-hitter at one of the most popular stadiums for cricket.
Blazing Fifty by Virat Kohli Against CSK

Kohli played with a blistering strike rate of almost 200, collecting 5 fours and 5 sixes from his innings.
His aggressive style at the top of the order established the tone for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, demonstrating once again why he is one of the most feared batters in T20 cricket.
Solid Opening Stand with Jacob Bethell
While Kohli’s excellence was aided by a pulsating 97-run opening partnership with Jacob Bethell, who also chipped in with a handy knock, scoring 55 runs from 33 balls of his own, with 8 fours and 2 sixes. The two saw RCB make a fast start after being invited to bat by the Chennai Super Kings.
Much more than just laying down a good platform for RCB, this partnership demonstrated both Kohli’s ability to anchor an innings and to pick up the pace with the emerging players.
