Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli is on the cusp of a big milestone as RCB is set to face Mumbai Indians for the reverse match of IPL 2026 at the new Raipur Stadium. <\/p>\n

In the night match on May 10, RCB will play MI at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. RCB had come on top in the reverse match in Mumbai. Now Virat Kohli has a chance to create history against Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli in IPL 2026<\/h2>\n

Although he is no longer the captain, Kohli is in top form with the bat. He is the highest run scorer of RCB in this IPL season. With 379 runs in 10 matches, Kohli is 10th in the Orange Cap table and is likely to move up if he achieves the feat today. <\/p>\n

In his latest game, Kohli was out for a duck, but he will be raring to go against a franchise against which he has a good record. This year Kohli’s average is 47.37 and strike rate is 164. This year he also has 3 half-centuries in his name.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli’s IPL record against Mumbai Indians<\/h2>\n

Against the five-time IPL champions, Virat Kohli has had a lot of success. In 36 matches, he has scored 972 runs with 7 half-centuries against them and has achieved the highest score of 92* in 2018. <\/p>\n

Kohli’s batting average against the Mumbai franchise is 32.4 and strike rate is 128.91. On the surface, Kohli has two big milestones to look forward to when he takes the field in Raipur.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli’s upcoming milestone in IPL 2026 vs Mumbai Indians match<\/h2>\n

First, Kohli has a chance to become the highest run-scorer against Mumbai Indians in IPL history. Apart from being the highest run-scorer in the history of the tournament, Kohli is also the highest run-scorer in IPL history against CSK, DC, PBKS, RR and GT.<\/p>\n

While Kohli has 972 runs against Mumbai Indians, he is the second-highest run-scorer against the 2020 champions. Currently, KL Rahul is at the top position with 977 runs. This means that Kohli needs just 6 runs to become the highest run-scorer in IPL history against Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n

If Kohli achieves this position today then it will remain like this for some time. MI are no longer set to face KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals this season, and both teams are now practically out of the playoff race.<\/p>\n

The second milestone is becoming the first player to score 1,000 runs in the IPL against Mumbai Indians. If Kohli gets this mark, he will score 1,000 or more IPL runs against 5 different teams. This will also be a record in itself.<\/p>\n

RCB’s form in IPL 2026<\/h2>\n

After a strong start, RCB have hit a block in the middle of IPL 2026. After losing each of their last two matches, the defending champions have slipped to fourth place in the points table.<\/p>\n

The race for the playoffs is now becoming more intense. Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore really can’t afford any more misses if they are to make the last four.<\/p>\n
