Virat Kohli has once again showcased his batting brilliance in IPL 2025, amassing a total of 602 runs in 13 innings for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). His consistency has been remarkable, averaging 60.20 with a strike rate of 147.91, including eight half-centuries. Kohli’s ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed has been a key factor in RCB’s campaign, making him one of the top run-scorers of the season.
In a historic achievement, Kohli became the first player to score 9000 T20 runs for a single franchise, surpassing all previous records. His tally includes 8,576 runs in the IPL and 424 runs in the now-defunct Champions League T20, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest T20 batsmen. His latest milestone came during RCB’s match against Lucknow Super Giants, where he played a crucial 54-run knock off 30 balls, marking his eighth fifty of the season.
With RCB advancing to the playoffs, Kohli has the opportunity to further extend his run tally and potentially cross the 700-run mark, a feat achieved by only a handful of players. His performances have not only strengthened RCB’s title hopes but also reaffirmed his status as the most prolific run-scorer in IPL history, with a total of 8,605 IPL runs, unmatched by any other player. Fans eagerly await his next innings, hoping to witness more record-breaking moments from the RCB legend.
