That moment proved decisive. Kohli made GT pay dearly, racing to a half-century off just 30 balls and eventually hammering 81 off 44 deliveries, laced with eight fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 184.09. He also took apart Jason Holder with back-to-back sixes during his blitz.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>In the process, Kohli etched his name deeper into IPL history by becoming the first player to reach 800 fours in the tournament. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Dropped on zero while sitting on 799 boundaries, he brought up the milestone in style by driving Kagiso Rabada to the long-on fence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Since his debut in 2008, Kohli has featured in 274 matches for RCB, scoring 8,915 runs at an average of 39.79, including 65 fifties and eight centuries, along with his record 800 fours. He has now taken his tally to 807 fours. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Kohli leads an elite list of boundary-hitters. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Shikhar Dhawan follows with 768 fours and 6,769 runs from 222 matches across multiple franchises. David Warner sits next with 663 fours in 184 matches, scoring 6,565 runs at an average of 40.52. Rohit Sharma has 653 fours from 276 matches and 7,183 runs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Among others, Ajinkya Rahane has struck 522 fours in 205 games, while Suresh Raina scored 5,528 runs with 506 fours in as many matches. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Gautam Gambhir registered 492 fours in 154 matches. The list also features Robin Uthappa (481 fours), KL Rahul (472 fours), and Suryakumar Yadav (471 fours), underlining the company Kohli keeps at the very top.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Most fours in Indian Premier League<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"28\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Span<\/th>\n<th>Mat<\/th>\n<th>Runs<\/th>\n<th>HS<\/th>\n<th>Ave<\/th>\n<th>4s<\/th>\n<th>6s<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Virat Kohli (RCB)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132026<\/td>\n<td>274*<\/td>\n<td>8989<\/td>\n<td>113*<\/td>\n<td>39.95<\/td>\n<td><strong>807<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>303<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shikhar Dhawan (DC\/DCH\/MI\/PBKS\/SRH)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132024<\/td>\n<td>222<\/td>\n<td>6769<\/td>\n<td>106*<\/td>\n<td>35.25<\/td>\n<td>768<\/td>\n<td>152<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>David Warner (DC\/SRH)<\/td>\n<td>2009\u20132024<\/td>\n<td>184<\/td>\n<td>6565<\/td>\n<td>126<\/td>\n<td>40.52<\/td>\n<td>663<\/td>\n<td>236<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rohit Sharma (DCH\/MI)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132026<\/td>\n<td>276<\/td>\n<td>7183<\/td>\n<td>109*<\/td>\n<td>29.92<\/td>\n<td>653<\/td>\n<td>310<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ajinkya Rahane (CSK\/DC\/KKR\/MI\/RPS\/RR)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132026<\/td>\n<td>205<\/td>\n<td>5184<\/td>\n<td>105*<\/td>\n<td>30.31<\/td>\n<td>522<\/td>\n<td>132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Suresh Raina (CSK\/GL)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132021<\/td>\n<td>205<\/td>\n<td>5528<\/td>\n<td>100*<\/td>\n<td>32.51<\/td>\n<td>506<\/td>\n<td>203<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gautam Gambhir (DC\/KKR)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132018<\/td>\n<td>154<\/td>\n<td>4217<\/td>\n<td>93<\/td>\n<td>31.00<\/td>\n<td>492<\/td>\n<td>59<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Robin Uthappa (CSK\/KKR\/MI\/PWI\/RCB\/RR)<\/td>\n<td>2008\u20132022<\/td>\n<td>205<\/td>\n<td>4952<\/td>\n<td>88<\/td>\n<td>27.51<\/td>\n<td>481<\/td>\n<td>182<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>KL Rahul (DC\/KXIP\/LSG\/PBKS\/RCB\/SRH)<\/td>\n<td>2013\u20132026<\/td>\n<td>151<\/td>\n<td>5427<\/td>\n<td>132*<\/td>\n<td>45.60<\/td>\n<td>472<\/td>\n<td>218<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Suryakumar Yadav (KKR\/MI)<\/td>\n<td>2012\u20132026<\/td>\n<td>173<\/td>\n<td>4468<\/td>\n<td>103*<\/td>\n<td>34.36<\/td>\n<td>471<\/td>\n<td>172<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-2026-dropped-on-0-virat-kohli-makes-gujarat-titans-pay-dearly\/articleshow\/130500495.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virat Kohli (BCCI\/IPL Photo) NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans will rue a costly lapse from their IPL 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
