Royal Challengers Bengaluru's star batter Virat Kohli becomes the first Indian batter to touch 12,000 T20 runs. During the first 10 overs of the Chennai Super Kings vs RCB match, Kohli hit 6 runs to touch this milestone. The former Indian captain has scored 11,994 runs in 376 T20 innings.
Virat Kohli is the second quickest to touch this mark. Chris Gayle still tops the chart with 14562 runs in 345 innings.
RCB got off to a cracking start, with skipper Faf du Plessis leading the charge by notching 35 off 23 deliveries with the help of eight boundaries. Chahar and Tushar Deshpande were messing their lengths, and new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad brought about a fresh change by introducing Mustafizur Rahman into the attack.
Rahman unleashed a change of pace to force du Plessis into a mishit. The South African's shot landed in the hands of New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who ran and dived to take an acrobatic catch.
Soon afterward, Rahman pulled the length back, angling the ball away from Patidar and inducing an edge off his bat for the ball to stick into the gloves of MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
