Virat Kohli continues his run-chase dominance in IPL 2025, scoring 288 runs in five chases. From explosive knocks to match-winning fifties, Kohli proves why he’s still the king under pressure.

Still the King of the Chase

The IPL 2025 saga has just begun and one name is having the time of their lives — it is Virat Kohli. The rock of Royal Challengers Bangalore has proven once again that under pressure and with the chasing tag hanging over his neck, he is the batsman you want at the crease this year. In five this season chases Kohli has managed a staggering 288 runs to continue to assert his status as one of best T20 finishers.

A Consistent Force Behind RCB’s Surge

Kohli has already crossed the 500-run this season, boots him into sixth on the list of top run-scorers in the tournament. The perfect nature of his run is further compounded by the fact that he was under so much pressure to deliver. Kohli has held the innings together for four out of the five chases he has been in, and finished with brutal half-centuries.

A Blazing Start—Then a Rare Miss

Kohli set to play another 50 in RCB’s latest game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday When he batted open with Phil Salt, he then exploded to make a quickfire 43 off just 25 smashing sixes and fours to all three corners. He looked on course for more, until the fifth fifty in his otherwise flawless run chase just got away.

The Backbone of RCB’s Victories

Kohli was the engine for four chase wins earlier than this. In the one against Kolkata Knight Riders, he anchored the innings with a scarily fine 59 off 36. Rajasthan Royals – a composed 62* in 45 balls. Srivastava went on to score a composed 73* off 54 against Punjab Kings and a cool 51 off 47 against Delhi Capitals. Again, presence at the crease helped RCB on all those occasions.
