Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans, the 60th match of IPL 2025 will be played today at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

However, even if he manages to achieve this figure today, he will not be able to beat former Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Universe Boss Chris Gayle in this list. We tell you which batsman has scored the fastest 8000 runs in T20 cricket.

Virat Kohli did this feat in the year 2019

Virat Kohli touched the 8000 run mark in 243 innings in T20 cricket. He achieved this feat against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2019. After ruling this record for the last 6 years, Kohli’s record is now under threat. Actually, KL Rahul is not far behind him now.

According to some media reports, KL Rahul can be given the responsibility of opener in today’s match against Gujarat Titans. This season Rahul has batted at many positions for Delhi. He has opened the innings once, has batted at number-3 twice and at number-4 seven times. He can be seen opening in this match.
