On April 14, 2025, during a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals, Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 62 off 45, leading RCB to a victory. After the match, a spectator invaded the pitch in an attempt to meet Kohli, but the cricketer evaded him by sneaking away behind other players, leaving the fan confused. This incident marked the second time in the season that a spectator had breached security to meet Kohli. Kohli’s half-century was his 100th in T20 cricket, making him the first Asian batter to achieve this milestone. Despite his impressive performance, Phil Salt played a crucial role in RCB’s victory with a 33-ball 65. This win propelled RCB into the top four of the table, while Rajasthan Royals suffered their fourth defeat in six matches. Kohli’s achievement puts him in second place on the list of most T20 fifties, behind Australia’s David Warner, with 108 such scores in 400 games.
