Royal Challengers Bangalore has ended as the second best team in this year’s IPL. Virat Kohli, the ex-captain and opening batsman for the franchise, has given the biggest contributions yet. King Kohli is putting on great batting performances these days. Indian captain Kohli has reached a milestone by hitting a half-century for Lucknow Super Giants. Therefore, he has also achieved what Shubman Gill and David Warner couldn’t, in this record.
King Kohli wrote his name into record books
Virat Kohli made history by reaching 50 runs against the Lucknow Super Giants. That took Kohli’s total number of 50s to 8 this season. With that, Virat Kohli became the first batsman to achieve this feat in IPL. Who has received the most half-century scores while their team won the most in a single season? Earlier, this record belonged to Virat Kohli. Kohli made fifty or more runs in seven of his successful matches in 2016. Along with Virat Kohli, David Warner repeated the seven-match feat in 2016 alone. At the same moment, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill also hit this record 7 times in the 2023 edition of the IPL. He could become the first Asian captain to lead his country in 10 cricket World Cup matches.
Virat Kohli raining runs
He has already been on the field for 13 matches during the ongoing season. He has 602 runs in this IPL with an average of 60.20. During closely fought matches, he scores at a strike rate of 147.91. Kohli has managed 8 half-centuries with the aid of 19 sixes and 61 fours until now this season. The Orange Cap is being fought for by Virat Kohli as well at this time. If he keeps getting wickets in the next qualifier matches, he could win the Orange Cap for IPL 2025.
