Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is now going to start in just a few days. The first match of this tournament starting on 22 March will be played at the historic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, where Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Virat Kohli, the star batsman of the Indian team, has joined his team for this match.
Kohli will have a chance to achieve a historical achievement in the first match of this season. If they score a century in this match, then they will become the first Indian batsman to do so, who will have done wonders to score 10 centuries in T20 cricket.
Kohli has scored a total of 9 centuries in his T20 career so far. Of these, 8 centuries have come in the IPL, while he has scored 1 century in T20 International match. If Virat Kohli hit another century in this match against Kolkata, then it will become the first Indian player to score 10 centuries in T20 cricket.
At the moment, no Indian batsman has reached this figure. However, Kohli will have a chance to achieve this feat throughout the season. Looking at his current form, it is not difficult for him to do so.
Virat is already the batsman to score the most centuries in the IPL. He has scored 8 centuries in this tournament so far. The right -handed batter scored his first IPL century against Gujarat Lions (GL) in 2016. He scored 4 centuries in that season. At the same time, his last century in the IPL came against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2024, when he scored an unbeaten 113* in 72 balls.
After Virat, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are the Indian players to score the most centuries in T20 cricket. Both have 7-7 T20 centuries recorded.
Now everyone’s eyes will be on the first match to be held on March 22, where Kohli will have a golden opportunity to create history.
