Virat Kohli will target the IPL 2025 top spot and playoff qualifications with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at M Chinnaswamy on Saturday. RCB takes Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who is already out of the playoff controversy, but will be playing for pride as they have never lost both league matches for their opponents in a season. When both sides met before this season, RCB defeated CSK for the first time in Chepuk after the inaugural season. RCB’s 50 -run win that day of RCB set a tone for a team for a team, which never raised the IPL.
RCB ranks third in the points table with 14 points in 10 matches, only behind Gujarat Titans on Mumbai Indians and NET Run-Crate. Kohli has played an important role so far, and he is one of the leading run-scores with 447 runs this season. Against CSK, Kohli will have a chance to break not one, not two, but five different records.
Here is a list of records Virat Kohli can break the match against CSK:
8500: Virat Kohli is 53 runs away from 8500 runs in the IPL.
9500: Virat Kohli is 10 runs away from 9500 runs in India in T20
750: Virat Kohli is 6 quarter from 750 fours in IPL
300: Virat Kohli is six six away from 300 sixes for RCB. (IPL + Clt20)
50: Virat Kohli is 7 sixes away from 50 sixes against CSK in IPL
The last time RCB faced CSK in Bengaluru IPL in 2024 and he won by 27 runs in an exciting game to enter the playoffs.
Rain may worsen due to the danger of match rain. In the last two days, Bengaluru has experienced continuous rain, and the trend may continue on the match day. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), “rain or thunderstorms occur in the afternoon or evening.”
