In the IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Virat Kohli once again etched his name in the record books with a 62-run knock, leading RCB to a strong total. This scintillating performance not only helped Kohli reach his seventh half-century of the season but also saw him become the first player to hit 300 sixes for RCB, a milestone unmatched by any other batter in the franchise's history.
Kohli's knock included a flurry of boundaries, with three sixes and two fours in his first 10 deliveries, marking his most explosive start to an innings in the IPL. His aggressive batting helped him reclaim the Orange Cap from Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans, with Kohli now sitting atop the run charts in IPL 2025, having accumulated 505 runs in 11 matches, just ahead of Sudharsan, who has 504 runs in 10 games.
Kohli’s performance in this season further strengthens his legacy. His 62 runs against CSK took him to eight seasons where he has scored over 500 runs, the most by any player in IPL history. He is followed by David Warner (7 seasons) and KL Rahul (6 seasons). Additionally, Kohli has now tied with Warner for the most half-centuries in IPL history, both with 62, and continues to lead the list for most centuries, with eight to his name.
Kohli’s IPL 2025 Record Milestones:
-
First player to hit 300 sixes for RCB
-
505 runs in 11 matches – Leading the Orange Cap race
-
Tied with David Warner for the most half-centuries (62)

This performance not only boosted his run tally but also cemented his place as one of the most consistent and dominant players in the IPL.
