1. First Indian Batter to 10 T20 Centuries

With his 105-run knock against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat Kohli became the first Indian batter to record 10 centuries in the history of T20 cricket. The veteran RCB batter was tied with SRH opener Abhishek Sharma at nine T20 centuries, but his clinical performance in Raipur allowed him to pull ahead and stand alone at the top of the mountain for India.

Overall, Kohli is the third batter after his former RCB teammate Chris Gayle (22) and Pakistan star Babar Azam (13) to record 10 or more centuries in the shortest format of the game across all levels.

In his IPL career, Virat Kohli has extended his all-time record to nine centuries, further solidifying his position as the leading centurion in the tournament's history.
