Most IPL runs for an Indian Player for RCB

Since the inception of the Indian Premier League, Kohli has been the face of the franchise, consistently delivering match-winning performances and setting numerous records for both RCB and the league as a whole.

1. Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs scored by an Indian player in IPL history, and all of his runs have come while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Kohli is the only player to have crossed 8,000 IPL runs, making him the league’s all-time highest run-scorer. He is the only player in IPL history to play every season for a single team (RCB) since the tournament’s inception in 2008. Virat Kohli’s consistency, longevity, and performance make him not only RCB’s highest run-scorer but also the most prolific Indian batsman in IPL history.
2. Devdutt Padikkal: Devdutt Padikkal has become the second Indian player to score 1,000 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), after Virat Kohli. Padikkal’s achievement places him in an elite group of RCB batsmen, with only Kohli ahead of him among Indian player.
3. Rajat Patidar: Rajat Patidar has rapidly risen through the ranks at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), becoming a key Indian batsman for the franchise since his debut in 2021. As of now, Patidar has scored 1008 runs in 34 matches for RCB at a strike rate of 158.49, including a memorable century (112*) in the 2022 playoffs. Patidar’s journey from a replacement player in 2022 to RCB’s third-highest Indian run-scorer underlines his growth and importance within the franchise. His rise reflects both his personal development and RCB’s faith in his abilities as a core Indian player and new captain.

Virat Kohli stands tall as the undisputed king of RCB’s batting charts, setting records year after year and inspiring fans with every run. As the IPL continues, his legacy as RCB’s greatest Indian run-scorer remains unmatched, setting the benchmark for generations to come.
