At the Wankhede Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will play the Mumbai Indians in the second IPL 2025 match. RCB would like to win against one of their bitter rivals after losing to the Gujarat Titans in their most recent game. However, defeating MI in their stronghold would be a very challenging endeavor. The performance of top batsman Virat Kohli in the pivotal match would determine a lot.
Virat Kohli eyes historic milestone
Kohli is about to make history during the game. At the moment, Virat Kohli has amassed 12,983 runs in all of his T20 games. In the shortest format, he would reach 13,000 runs if he scored 17 runs against the Mumbai Indians. In T20 cricket, he would thus become the first Indian to accomplish this feat. In T20 cricket, he would also become the fifth player in history to reach 13,000 runs.
Players with the most T20 Runs
- Chris Gayle- 14,562
- Alex Hales- 13,610
- Shoaib Malik- 13,557
- Kieron Pollard- 13,537
- Virat Kohli- 12,983
Virat Kohli scored an undefeated 59 to start the IPL 2025 with a spectacular knock against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Kohli got 31 runs in the subsequent game against CSK, although he had trouble timing the ball. He was dismissed for seven runs against GT, which was disappointing. As a result, Kohli, who has amassed 97 runs in three games thus far, will try to return to his peak against the Mumbai Indians.
RCB defeated KKR by a commanding 7 wickets to begin their IPL 2025 campaign. After that, they overcame CSK by 50 runs, yet they won another thrilling match. They fell by eight wickets, though, as GT stopped their momentum. They are currently in third place on the points table, but a convincing victory over MI would put them in first place.
