Approaching milestones ahead of the IPL game between Bangalore and Mumbai at Bangalore on 14.04.17

CH Gayle is on the threshold of scoring ten thousand runs in T20 games. He has an aggregate of 9975 runs and require 25 more runs to reach the milestone. If he gets these runs, he would become the first batsman in the history of Twenty20 games to score ten thousand runs

 

CH Gayle has an aggregate of 149 boundary sixes at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. He needs one more boundary six for his 150 boundary sixes. If he scores it, he would then become the first batsman in the history of T20 games to score 150 boundary sixes on a single ground. As of now, he is the only batsman in the history of T20 games to score 100 boundary sixes on a single ground.

 

KA Pollard has an aggregate of 6978 runs in T20 games. He needs 22 more runs for his 7000 runs. If he gets it, he would then become the fifth batsman in the history of T20 games. Others are – CH Gayle {9975}, BB McCullum {7411}, BJ Hodge {7338} and DA Warner {7060}

 

V Kolhi has an aggregate of 148 boundary sixes in Indian Premier League. He requires two more boundary sixes for his 150 boundary sixes. If he gets them, he would then become the fifth batsman in the history of Indian Premier League to score 150 plus boundary sixes. Others are – CH Gayle {254}, RG Sharma {163}, SK Raina {160} and AB de Villiers {150}

 

V Kohli has an aggregate of 190 boundary fours at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. He needs ten more boundary fours for his 200 boundary fours. If he scores it, he would then become the first batsman in the history of T20 games to score 200 boundary fours on a single ground.

 

V Kohli has scored 14 half centuries at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. He needs one more half century for his 15 half centuries. If he scores it, he would then become the first batsman in the history of T20 games to score 15 half centuries on a single ground. He would go past MA Carberry who has scored 14 half centuries at Southampton.

 

V Kohli at Bangalore, SR Patel at Nottingham, MA Carberry at Southampton, AD Hales at Nottingham, Shakib Al Hasan at Mirpur, Dhaka, Imrul Kayes at Mirpur, Dhaka and Anamul Haque at Mirpur, Dhaka are the seven batsmen who share the record for most ducks – five – on a single ground in the history of T20 games. One more duck for  V Kohli would earn him his sixth duck and with it the dubious distinction of owning the record for most ducks on a single ground  in  the history of T20 games
