His knock played a vital role as Royal Challengers Bengaluru comfortably chased down a goal of 202 in only 15.4 overs.<\/span><\/p>\n While RCB have made a powerful begin to their season with a convincing victory, Chennai Super Kings are still trying to find their first points. The five-time champions have endured consecutive losses against Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings.<\/span><\/p>\n Virat Kohli has been amongst probably the most reliable performers in IPL history. He stays the tournament\u2019s highest run-scorer, amassing 8,730 runs in 260 innings at a strike rate of 133.14, including eight centuries and 64 half-centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n The previous Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain also boasts a formidable record against Chennai Super Kings, having scored 1,146 runs in 35 matches at a strike rate of 127.25 against the Men in Yellow. Notably, RCB dominated CSK in IPL 2025, winning each encounters. <\/span><\/p>\n Within the league stage at MA Chidambaram Stadium, they secured a comprehensive 50-run victory. Kohli contributed 31 off 30 balls, while skipper Rajat Patidar led the charge with a high quality 51 off 32, guiding the team to 196\/7 in 20 overs. In reply, CSK were restricted to 146\/8, with Josh Hazlewood starring with the ball, returning figures of 4-0-21-3.<\/span><\/p>\n RCB also got here out on top within the reverse fixture in a closely fought contest. Defending a complete of 214, the Bengaluru-based side clinched a narrow two-run win. Kohli played a key role once more, scoring a fluent 62 off 33 deliveries.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the most recent cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a> for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
