The India batter needs just 28 more runs to become the first player in IPL history to reach 1,000 runs against Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n<p>In RCB\u2019s most recent meeting with MI at the Wankhede Stadium, Kohli moved past the 1,000-run mark against the franchise in T20 cricket. That total spans both IPL and the Champions League T20, underlining how long he has been able to consistently impact games against the five-time champions.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s effort in that match was 50 off 38 balls. With that knock, his overall tally against Mumbai Indians in T20s rose to 1,030, while his IPL numbers sit at 972\u2014leaving him one decisive push away from an exclusive 1,000-run club.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts: Kohli vs MI in the IPL<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Innings: 34<\/li>\n<li>Runs: 972<\/li>\n<li>Average: 32.40<\/li>\n<li>Strike rate: 128.91<\/li>\n<li>Scores of 50+: 7<\/li>\n<li>Highest score: 92*<\/li>\n<li>Sixes: 36<\/li>\n<li>Fours: 83<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>His numbers against Mumbai Indians place him ahead of multiple IPL stalwarts when it comes to runs versus MI. The list of top run-getters includes KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni, with Kohli already setting the pace in this head-to-head battle.<\/p>\n<h3>Top run-scorers against MI in IPL<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>KL Rahul: 219 runs in 22 innings, average 77.65, strike rate 135.13, high score 103*, not outs 6, 6 fifties\/0 hundreds<\/li>\n<li>Virat Kohli: 349 runs in 34 innings, average 232.40, strike rate 128.91, high score 92*, not outs 40\/7, 6 fifties\/0 hundreds<\/li>\n<li>Shikhar Dhawan: 289 runs in 28 innings, average 139.17, strike rate 128.34, high score 82*, not outs 50\/6, 5 fifties\/0 hundreds<\/li>\n<li>Suresh Raina: 342 runs in 34 innings, average 142.42, strike rate 139.42, high score 83*, not outs 60\/7, 6 fifties\/0 hundreds<\/li>\n<li>Manish Pandey: 257 runs in 25 innings, average 63.36, strike rate 130.27, high score 81*, not outs 30\/6, 3 fifties\/0 hundreds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If Kohli reaches the 1,000-run mark against Mumbai Indians in this match, MI will become the fifth franchise he has done it against in IPL history. He has already crossed the 1,000-run threshold versus Chennai Super Kings (1,174), Delhi Capitals (1,172), Punjab Kings (1,159) and Kolkata Knight Riders (1,021).<\/p>\n<p>With his long-standing dominance against a franchise that has been central to IPL\u2019s success stories, Kohli\u2019s consistency once again highlights both his longevity and his ability to deliver at the very highest level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virat Kohli is closing in on another IPL milestone, with a Sunday showdown against Mumbai Indians at Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s next
