Yuzvendra Chahal IPL story: 221 wickets in 172 innings, 17.15 balls per scalp, one five-for, 21 three-wicket bursts, economy 7.96, 5 for 25 best figures, 13 seasons 2013-2025, Royal Challengers legend, Rajasthan Royals spearhead, Punjab Kings 2025 spin king, 37 runs 86 balls batting cameos, highest score 8 not out.

Virat Kohli is the undisputed batting king of the Indian Premier League, a Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifer who has turned loyalty into legend across 18 electrifying seasons from 2008 to 2025. With 8,661 runs off 6,519 balls, Kohli is the league’s highest-ever run-getter, firing at a strike rate of 132 and painting every corner of every ground with 771 fours and 291 towering sixes. His 63 half-centuries and 8 hundreds—topped by a blistering 113*—tell the story of a man who converts starts into statements, walking in 259 innings and delivering a match-defining fifty or hundred in roughly one out of every four trips to the crease. While he has rolled his arm over occasionally, claiming four wickets from 26 bowling innings, it is with the bat that Kohli has authored the IPL’s most enduring chronicle, forever clad in the red and gold of RCB.
