Virat Kohli’s struggles with form are now a distant memory as he’s unleashing a torrent of runs in IPL 2025. His latest feat? A blistering 62 off 33 balls against CSK, marking his 62nd IPL half-century. This innings not only showcased his explosive batting but also propelled him past several milestones.
A new benchmark against CSK
Kohli has now scored the most runs against a single team in the IPL, surpassing David Warner’s record of 1,134 runs against Punjab Kings. His tally against CSK stands at 1,146 runs, solidifying his dominance against the Chennai outfit. Kohli has been on a roll, notching up his fourth consecutive half-century for RCB, a feat he last achieved in 2016. This consistency is a testament to his resurgence.
Kohli’s impressive run continues:
- Most runs against CSK in the IPL – 1,146 runs
- Most half-centuries against CSK – 10
- Most sixes at a single venue – 152 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium
- Most sixes for a single team – 301 for RCB
These records highlight Kohli’s prowess at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where he’s smashed 152 sixes, eclipsing Chris Gayle’s tally of 151. His 301 sixes for RCB also reinforce his status as the leading six-hitter for the franchise. Kohli’s resurgence is timely, and his ability to adapt to different situations will be crucial in the remainder of the IPL 2025 season. He’s already achieved a rare feat by scoring 500 runs in the tournament, joining Sai Sudarshan as one of the few players to do so. As the season progresses, Kohli’s form will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
