King Kohli Misses Out on Making History Against DC
Virat Kohli had an opportunity to set another major record during the match played against the Delhi Capitals. However, the Royal Challengers Bangalore chased down the target of 76 runs in just 6.3 overs before he could do so. Had Kohli scored just 27 more runs in this match, he would have become the first batsman in the world to complete 1200 runs against a single team in T20 cricket.
