Virat Kohli Starts Off IPL 2025 With A Bang!
Virat Kohli was in a vintage mode with the bat as he made easy work of KKR's target of 175 with some brilliant hitting all over the ground. He got to his fifty with a boundary as well in the 13th over, and as soon as he reached the landmark, a pitch invader ran all the way towards the batter and fell on his feet in his grand gesture of love.
The RCB and Indian star has often encountered such pitch invasion and it shows how much he is loved by cricket fans around the world. Virat Kohli eventually stayed unbeaten on 59 off just 36 balls and hit 4 fours and 3 sixes in his knock. RCB eventually chased down the target in the 17th over with 7 wickets in hand and completed a thorough demolition of KKR.
Along with Virat Kohli, Phil Salt also joined the party and hit quickfire 56 in just 31 balls. In the first half, Krunal Pandya was the star of the show with three crucial wickets and helped them get back in the game after Ajinkya Rahane's fifty.
