On Saturday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will cross swords against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the first match of IPL 2025. The high-voltage encounter will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Virat Kohli is expected to play a significant role for RCB in the IPL 2025. The talismanic batter also eyes several phenomenal milestones in the tournament, as mentioned below.
Most fours in IPL
Legendary Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan claims the first position with 768 boundaries to his name. Meanwhile, RCB's former captain Virat Kohli occupies the second position with 705 fours in the tournament.
So, if Kohli slams 64 boundaries in the IPL 2025, he will overtake Dhawan for the most number of boundaries in Indian Premier League history.
Most 50+ scores in IPL
Australia's talismanic batter David Warner has registered the most number of 50+ scores in IPL history. While Warner has struck 66 scores of 50 runs or more, Virat Kohli claims the second position with 63 50+ scores.
Thus, if Kohli slams four fifties in the IPL 2025, he will break Warner's record for the most fifty-plus scores in the tournament.
