Dream11 IPL 2020: Virat Kohli on the verge of completing 500 boundaries, 200 sixes

Across all IPL matches, Virat Kohli has scored 497 boundaries. As of now, he is only behind Delhi opener and Indian teammate Shikhar Dhawan (549 boundaries) in terms of the number of boundaries scored in the tournament’s history. If captain Kohli manages to hit the rope three more times in the upcoming Bangalore vs Rajasthan contest, the maverick Indian batsman will become only the second cricketer in IPL history to register 500 boundaries to his name.

Additionally, Bangalore’s veteran campaigner also has 197 sixes to his name. He is currently fifth on the list of most sixes hit in the tournament, behind the likes of Chris Gayle (331 sixes), AB de Villiers (225 sixes), MS Dhoni (215 sixes) and Rohit Sharma (209 sixes). Should Virat Kohli add three more sixes to his tally, he will become only the fifth IPL batsman to join the illustrious 200-sixes club.
