Virat Kohli’s red-hot form in IPL 2025
Batting legend Virat Kohli has been one of the most consistent performers this season. He began IPL 2025 with an unbeaten 59 against KKR, followed by knocks of 31 and 7. He bounced back with 67 against Mumbai Indians, then scored 22 vs Delhi Capitals, and smashed 70 in the away match against Rajasthan Royals.
Though he was dismissed for 1 in one game against Punjab Kings, he returned with a match-winning 73* in the reverse fixture.
In tonight’s IPL clash against Rajasthan, Kohli showcased another masterclass at his favorite hunting ground, scoring a 42-ball 70.
Kohli’s blazing knock, combined with a quickfire 27-ball half-century from Devdutt Padikkal, powered Royal Challengers Bangalore to a formidable total of 205 runs in their 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals. After being put in to bat first, RCB’s top-order rose to the occasion, setting the stage for a strong challenge with the bat.
