Virat Kohli delivered a stellar performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 13, 2025, against Rajasthan Royals, reaffirming his dominance in the T20 format. By notching up his 100th T20 half-century, Kohli became only the second cricketer in history—after David Warner—to reach this incredible milestone. His achievement during IPL 2025 further cemented his global cricketing legacy.

Kohli began his innings cautiously, scoring just 18 runs off 13 balls during the powerplay. However, he soon shifted gears, finishing with an unbeaten 62 off 45 deliveries. Partnering with Phil Salt, who smashed a quickfire 65 off 33 balls, Kohli played the anchor role with his signature blend of composure and style. The turning point came when Kohli launched a towering six off Kumar Kartikeya, electrifying the Bengaluru crowd and signaling his shift into attack mode. It was a knock that combined patience, poise, and power—perfectly highlighting why Kohli remains one of the finest in the game.
