As the crowd roared in Wankhede, three of India’s biggest names currently - Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Rohit Sharma etched their names into the record books in their own unique ways.

Virat Kohli crossed 13,000 runs in T20 cricket

With his composed half-century, Virat Kohli didn’t just steady the innings after an early wicket but he also shattered another record. He crossed 13,000 runs in T20 cricket, becoming the first Indian to do so and only the fifth player in the world overall.

What’s more impressive? He reached the mark in just 386 innings, second only to Chris Gayle in terms of speed.

Rohit Sharma has now hit most sixes in the first over of an IPL match

Back in the XI, after a brief break, Rohit Sharma wasted no time in making an impact. His towering six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the very first over took him past Chris Gayle’s record for the most sixes in the first over of IPL matches.

Now sitting at 13 sixes in opening overs, Rohit leads the all-time IPL charts in this specific category.

Hardik Pandya's all-round milestone

While Hardik Pandya couldn’t take his side over the line, he had a big personal moment during the match. After dismissing Kohli and Livingstone in a single over, he completed his 200th T20 wicket.

Combine that with his 5000+ T20 runs, and Hardik now becomes the first Indian to reach both those milestones. This places him in a select global club of all-rounders with the likes of Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan and Dwayne Bravo.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar most wickets for a fast bowler in IPL

The RCB pacer picked up Tilak Varma's wicket at a crucial juncture of the match. With Varma's wicket, the veteran Indian pacer became the highest wicket-taking fast bowler in IPL history, leapfrogging CSK legend Dwayne Bravo, with 183 scalps to his name.
