Ahead of RCB's IPL 2025 game against the Delhi Capitals, RCB spin-bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan opened up on Virat's trajectory against spinners. As quoted by NDTV, he said, "Part two is about Virat Kohli as the individual. He does not need to go and practice extra against left-arm spin and leg spin. He's batted for 20-25 years.

“He's a genius. He just has to decide what he wants to do and how he wants to take down a particular bowler.”

RCB's Current Form Has Made Them Favourites For IPL Playoffs

Virat's team has remained in contention for an IPL playoff spot with six wins in their kitty. They have won three of their last four games and need to win to win at least two more matches as 16 points is believed to be the cut-off for the playoffs. They grabbed a narrow win against the Rajasthan Royals to record their maiden home victory this season, and it should further propel their chances against KL Rahul's Delhi Capitals. A win in Virat's home town could further take them a step closer to the playoffs as things stand.
