Virat Kohli Shatters Records in IPL 2025 with Stellar Performances

Royal Challengers Bangalore's Remarkable Journey

In the current IPL season, Royal Challengers Bangalore has secured the position of the second-best team. Virat Kohli, the former captain and opening batsman for the team, has been a standout performer. Known as King Kohli, he has been delivering exceptional batting displays recently. The Indian captain reached a significant milestone by scoring a half-century against the Lucknow Super Giants, achieving something that both Shubman Gill and David Warner could not.

Kohli's Historic Achievement

By reaching 50 runs against the Lucknow Super Giants, Virat Kohli etched his name in the record books. This achievement marks his eighth half-century of the season, making him the first player in IPL history to accomplish this feat. Previously, Kohli held the record for the most half-centuries in winning matches during a single season, having scored fifty or more runs in seven successful games back in 2016. David Warner matched this record in the same year, while Shubman Gill replicated it in the 2023 season.

Kohli's Impressive Statistics

Throughout the ongoing season, Kohli has participated in 13 matches, amassing a total of 602 runs with an impressive average of 60.20. His strike rate stands at 147.91 during tightly contested matches. With 8 half-centuries, 19 sixes, and 61 fours to his name this season, Kohli is also in contention for the Orange Cap. If he continues his stellar performance in the upcoming qualifier matches, he could secure the Orange Cap for IPL 2025.
