NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli is once again rewriting IPL benchmarks, adding another rare mark to his ever-growing record during Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s meeting with Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026.

Kohli\u2019s innings started in the toughest possible way, getting out for a duck after being hit on zero in the first over by Mohammed Siraj. But he was already on 799 boundaries at that point, and once he got going, he pushed himself over the line in emphatic fashion\u2014hitting Kagiso Rabada to the long-on boundary to seal the 800th four of his IPL career.<\/p>\n
