IPL 2025: Virat Kohli continues to be in impeccable touch for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. RCB recently overcame their biggest challenge, their losing streak at home, and defeated the Rajasthan Royals in their fortress. Bengaluru were pitch-perfect with the ball, but the onus of the loss also falls partially upon the Rajasthan batters who botched the chase in the death overs.

Virat Kohli Likely To Breach Another IPL Milestone

Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Virat Kohli has been batting really well for the team. Virat's continued success at the top of the order has played a huge role in Bengaluru dominating the IPL this time around. The last time these two sides played, Kohli could score only 22 runs from 14 balls at a strike rate of 157.14.

Kohli will not only want to stamp his dominance on Axar Patel's Delhi but will also have his eyeballs fixated on a major IPL record. Kohli will have the chance to top the list of most runs by a batter in IPL against one opponent. Currently, Warner tops the chart with 1134 runs against Punjab Kings. Kohli just needs 55 runs to top the list.
