Delhi: Virat Kohli and Jacob Betail on Saturday made Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) a bang in the league match played against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Both batsmen added 71 runs to the powerplay itself. The special thing is that Virat adopted aggressive attitude from the beginning this time and gave three sixes in the powerplay.
During this time, Kohli also made a historical achievement in his name. He has become the first batsman in the world to hit 300 sixes for the same team in T20 cricket. This figure is combined with all the matches played for RCB in IPL and Champions League T20.
Virat is associated with RCB in 2008 and has been playing for this team since then every season. In terms of sixes for RCB, he was followed by Chris Gayle of West Indies, who hit 263 sixes in just 7 seasons. At number three is Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, who has 262 sixes.
RCB towards the top position
With this win, RCB has a golden opportunity to top the IPL 2025 points table. RCB currently has 14 points and is in third place. Mumbai Indians are also at the top with the same number of points, but the net is ahead due to the run rate. Chennai Super Kings have already been ruled out of the tournament and ranks final with just 2 wins in 8 matches.
If RCB wins this match, it will become the first team to score more than 15 points this season. On the other hand, if CSK wins the remaining matches, then it can exit the last place.
