Kohli played an integral part in RCB's triumphant run last season. Kohli scored 657 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.75 in 2025. In fact, last season he became the first-ever batter to cross 600 runs in an IPL edition five times (2013, 2016, 2023, 2024, 2025). He would hope that he can help his team dominate again. Kohli would be the key for RCB's fortunes again. It would be interesting to see if RCB can defend their title successfully.
