Virat Kohli Poised for Historic IPL Milestone Against KKR
Upcoming IPL Clash: RCB vs KKR
In the 58th match of IPL 2025, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at 7:30 PM at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, the match may be impacted by weather conditions, as rain clouds are looming over the venue. Despite this uncertainty, all eyes are on RCB's star batsman, Virat Kohli, who is on the brink of achieving a significant milestone in this game. Fans are hopeful that Kohli will etch his name in the record books with just one boundary.
Kohli's Journey Towards IPL History
This season, Virat Kohli has showcased exceptional form, having scored seven half-centuries and amassed 505 runs, placing him fourth in the race for the Orange Cap. If he manages to hit a single four against KKR today, he will become the second-highest boundary-hitter in IPL history.

Kohli's Boundary Record
Currently, Kohli has hit 749 fours in IPL matches. Achieving one more will make him only the second player in the tournament's history to reach the 750-fours milestone. This season alone, he has already hit 44 fours. The record for the most fours in IPL history is held by Shikhar Dhawan, who has 768 fours to his name but has since retired from all forms of cricket.
RCB's Playoff Prospects
RCB is on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs. With 11 matches played, they have secured 8 victories and suffered 3 losses, accumulating 16 points and currently sitting in second place on the points table. A win today would elevate their points to 18, ensuring their playoff spot.
In the event that rain disrupts the match, both teams will receive one point each. Even in such a scenario, RCB would qualify for the playoffs with a total of 17 points.
