Ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday, the former India captain sits just 20 runs away from becoming the first batter to reach 1,000 runs against the five-time champions in T20 cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli already heads the list of run-getters versus MI in the shortest format. Across 35 innings, he has piled up 980 runs in the IPL and the now-discontinued Champions League T20, with his steady output against one of the league\u2019s most successful sides reflecting both his durability and his ability to dominate at the highest level.<\/p>\n<h2>Kohli\u2019s dominance vs Mumbai Indians<\/h2>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s record against Mumbai Indians underlines how he has managed to stay effective across different phases of his career. The key figures read:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Innings: 35<\/li>\n<li>Runs: 980<\/li>\n<li>Average: 31.61<\/li>\n<li>Strike Rate: 129.115<\/li>\n<li>Fifty-plus scores: 6<\/li>\n<li>Highest score: 92*<\/li>\n<li>Sixes: 36<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With 980 runs against MI in T20 cricket, Kohli is already ahead of a number of IPL benchmarks, including KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni, when it comes to total runs versus the Mumbai franchise.<\/p>\n<h2>Race with KL Rahul adds intrigue<\/h2>\n<p>While Kohli leads the broader T20 head-to-head numbers, the IPL-only contest presents a slightly tighter storyline. KL Rahul has scored 976 runs against MI in just 20 IPL innings, currently the highest total against them in league history.<\/p>\n<p>In the IPL specifically, Kohli has 922 runs from 34 innings versus Mumbai Indians and requires 78 more to cross the 1,000-run mark in the tournament. That gap keeps the spotlight firmly on both batters, underlining the competitive edge between two of India\u2019s most accomplished current-era performers.<\/p>\n<h2>Wankhede: A happy hunting ground<\/h2>\n<p>The venue adds yet another layer of confidence for Kohli. Wankhede Stadium has been particularly productive for him, with 401 runs in 12 innings against MI there at an average of 45.55. Across his entire IPL career at Wankhede, Kohli has amassed 641 runs at an average of 45.78, highlighting how comfortable he has been on the batting-friendly surface.<\/p>\n<p>If Kohli reaches the 1,000-run milestone in today\u2019s game, it would make him the fifth opponent against whom he has achieved that feat in the IPL. He has already crossed the mark versus Chennai Super Kings (1174), Delhi Capitals (1130), Punjab Kings (1159) and Kolkata Knight Riders (1021).<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for live updates including the latest IPL Live Score, IPL news, the IPL Schedule, the IPL Points Table, and the ongoing race for the IPL Orange Cap and IPL Purple Cap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virat Kohli is closing in on another landmark in T20 cricket.
