Virat Kohli Eyes Five Massive Records in IPL 2025 – A Season of Milestones Ahead
New Delhi, March 22 The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is on the horizon, and all eyes are on Virat Kohli, the talismanic batter of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who is poised to shatter multiple records this season. Known for his unmatched consistency, fierce determination, and hunger for runs, Kohli is on the cusp of etching his name into the history books yet again.
As the cricketing world gears up for IPL 2025, here are five monumental records Virat Kohli is expected to break this season.
1. First Indian to 13,000 T20 Runs
Virat Kohli is just 114 runs away from becoming the first Indian to complete 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. Currently standing at 12,886 runs, Kohli is all set to achieve this landmark early in the tournament. This milestone will place him in an elite club globally and further solidify his reputation as one of the greatest T20 batters of all time.
2. Most Fours in IPL History
Kohli could become the player with the most boundaries in IPL history. With 705 fours to his name, he is currently second only to Shikhar Dhawan, who has 768 fours. Dhawan, having retired from all formats, is no longer in contention, giving Kohli a golden opportunity to overtake him. With just 64 fours required, this record seems well within reach.
3. 100 T20 Fifties Milestone
Kohli has registered 97 half-centuries in T20s. If he scores just three more fifties, he will reach the rare feat of 100 T20 half-centuries, becoming only the second cricketer in the world after David Warner (108 fifties) to achieve this milestone. It’s yet another testament to Kohli’s unmatched consistency and dominance in the shortest format.
4. 300 IPL Sixes Incoming
While Kohli is known more for his elegance than brute power, he is also on the brink of a major six-hitting milestone. Currently sitting at 272 sixes in the IPL, Kohli needs just 28 more to join the 300 sixes club. Only Chris Gayle (357) and Rohit Sharma (280) are ahead of him. A few explosive innings could easily push Kohli into the top two.
5. Most 50+ Scores in IPL History
Another prestigious record within Kohli’s grasp is the most 50+ scores in IPL history. David Warner holds the current record with 66 fifty-plus scores, while Kohli is just behind with 63 (55 fifties and 8 centuries) in 252 matches. If Kohli manages four more 50+ scores, he will overtake Warner and become the highest ever in this category.
A Season of Legacy and Leadership
Kohli, who has been the face of RCB since the inception of the IPL, enters IPL 2025 with renewed energy and focus, having taken a break from international cricket earlier this year. His form, fitness, and hunger for milestones suggest that this could be one of his most prolific seasons yet.
With the backing of RCB’s new leadership core and a revamped squad, the franchise will be banking heavily on Kohli’s experience and match-winning abilities to end their long title drought.
Conclusion: A Historic IPL Season Beckons for Virat Kohli
As IPL 2025 approaches, Virat Kohli stands on the verge of cricketing immortality. From becoming the first Indian with 13,000 T20 runs to potentially holding records for most fours, fifties, and 50+ scores in IPL history—Kohli’s legacy is set to reach new heights.
