Virat Kohli and the Royal Challengers Bangalore are gearing up for the IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings with the goal of securing their first ever Indian Premier League title. Kohli has been in excellent form this season, amassing 614 runs from 14 matches. However, his performance in the playoffs has been less impressive, with only 353 runs in 16 innings at an average of 25.21 and a strike rate of 120.89.
Kohli’s highest score in the playoffs is an unbeaten 70 off 44 balls against Chennai Super Kings in 2011. He last scored a fifty in the playoffs in 2016 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. Despite his lackluster playoff record, Kohli remains a key player for RCB and will be looking to lead his team to victory in the final.
In the upcoming match, Kohli will have the opportunity to improve his playoff statistics and contribute significantly to RCB’s quest for their maiden IPL title. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Kohli can deliver a match-winning performance on the big stage and help RCB lift the coveted trophy.
