The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League is set to begin on March 28th. Defending champions RCB will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the season's opening match. Star batsman Virat Kohli will once again be the focus of attention in this match.

Virat Kohli, who played a key role in RCB's victory last season, will have a chance to add another major achievement to his name this season. He currently ranks among the top five batsmen with the most sixes in IPL history.

He is at the third position in this list, hence Kohli will now have a chance to complete his 300 sixes in IPL history. For this he will have to hit nine sixes. Kohli has 291 sixes in 259 innings of 267 IPL matches. Only Rohit Sharma is ahead of him from India. Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has hit 302 sixes. The record in this matter is in the name of former great West Indies batsman Chris Gayle. Chris Gayle has hit 357 sixes in IPL.
