Virat Kohli has surpassed Shikhar Dhawan to become the player with the most boundaries in history of the Indian Premier League.
The swashbuckling batsman achieved this feat when he hit Kyle Jamieson for a boundary in the third over of the 2025 IPL final being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday (June 3).
Punjab Kings won the toss in the final and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
