Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2.
RCB has been in great form, winning their last two matches; one while chasing and the other while defending a total. This will be their first home game of the season, and they will be eager to perform in front of their passionate fans. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, RCB has looked solid so far, with players stepping up at crucial moments.
Gujarat Titans have had a roller-coaster start to the season. They faced a massive 243-run total against Punjab Kings but fought hard before falling short by just 11 runs, scoring 232. However, they bounced back in their next match with an impressive win over Mumbai Indians, showcasing strong performances in both batting and bowling.
Virat Kohli has been in fine form this season, scoring 90 runs in two innings. As the highest run-scorer in IPL history, he has the chance to reach several new milestones in this game.
1. 13,000 Runs in T20 Cricket
Kohli needs just 24 more runs to become the fifth player to reach 13,000 T20 runs. Here’s the current list of top run-scorers in T20s:
Players | Matches | Runs |
Chris Gayle | 463 | 14562 |
Alex Hales | 494 | 13610 |
Kieron Pollard | 695 | 13537 |
Shoaib Malik | 553 | 13535 |
Virat Kohli | 401 | 12976 |
2. 1,000 Fours in T20s in Asia
The Indian batting maestro has hit 996 fours in T20 matches played in Asia. He needs just 4 more fours to reach 1,000.
3. 5,000 Runs as an Opener in T20s
Virat Kohli currently has 4,993 runs as an opener in T20 cricket. He needs only 7 more runs to reach the 5,000-run mark.
4. 150 Catches in T20s in Asia
With 146 catches in T20 matches played in Asia, Kohli needs 4 more catches to reach 150. While grabbing four catches in a single match is tough, he has a strong chance to achieve this milestone soon.
