IPL 2024 has witnessed several records being smashed as teams take advantage of the Impact Player rule to lengthen their batting line ups to post massive totals and also chase down big targets.

The decade-old record for highest total held by Royal Challengers Bengaluru was breached three times this season with Sunrisers Hyderabad breaking the record twice in the space of a few days. Also, Punjab Kings broke the record for highest successful chase in T20 cricket.

While teams have been posting big totals, the prime factor behind that is the batters piling on runs. The ever consistent Virat Kohli leads the run-scoring chart this season with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Travis Head, Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson and KL Rahul following the star batter for most runs in IPL 2024.

RCB's Kohli is the lone batter with 700 plus runs, while the rest of the chasing pack have crossed the 500 mark or nearing that figure with four games left to play this season. Here is a look at player who have scored 500 or more runs this campaign:

Players Who Scored 500 Plus Runs in IPL 2024

• Virat Kohli (RCB) - 708 runs in 14 innings
• Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK) - 583 runs in 14 innings
• Travis Head (SRH) - 533 runs in 12 innings
• Riyan Parag (RR) - 531 runs in 12 innings
• Sai Sudharsan (GT) - 527 runs in 12 innings
• KL Rahul (LSG) - 520 runs in 14 innings
• Sanju Samson (RR) - 504 runs in 13 innings

Nicholas Pooran finished his campaign 1 run short of 500. There are few more who could cross the 500-run mark in the remaining four matches like Abhishek Sharma, Sunil Narine, Faf Du Plessis and Heinrich Klaasen.

As it stands, the players crossing 500 plus runs in a single season is 8. That record is likely to be matched or broken this season as the current season has season 7 players scoring 500 or more runs.

Also, Kohli and Rahul have been one of the most consistent run-makers in the Indian Premier League alongside the seasoned campaigners David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. Here is a look at players with 500 plus runs most times in a IPL season:
