RCB's Fate Tied To Virat Kohli's Bat: The Record That Says It All
Virat Kohli has crossed the 50-run mark eight times this season (IPL 2025) - and RCB has won every single one of those matches.
Batting legend Virat Kohli has been unstoppable in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) icon is in red-hot form, delivering match-winning performances game after game.
Thanks largely to his consistency with the bat, RCB has made it to the playoffs after a gap of 9 years - and Kohli has been at the heart of this turnaround.
In the crucial clash against Lucknow Super Giants, Kohli once again rose to the occasion, smashing a brilliant 54 off 30 balls, studded with 10 boundaries. His half-century set the tone for yet another RCB victory.
Virat Kohli's Fifties = RCB Wins
Virat Kohli has crossed the 50-run mark eight times this season (IPL 2025) - and RCB has won every single one of those matches.
It's a record that highlights his unmatched impact. In fact, Kohli now holds the record for most fifties in a winning cause in a single IPL season, breaking his own record from 2016, when he scored seven. If we go by this record, Kohli scoring a fifty tonight against Punjab Kings (PBKS) should gurantee them a spot in this year's IPL Final.
Punjab on alert ahead of Qualifier 1
As Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) prepares to face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1, Virat Kohli's form is their biggest weapon.
His record against Punjab is outstanding, and with the way he's batting, Punjab's bowlers will be under serious pressure. If Kohli fires again, RCB's spot in the final could be a foregone conclusion.
