RCB vs CSK: Virat Kohli has a chance to make this great record, also get the Orange Cap as soon as he scores this many runs

Virat Kohli is the only player as of now in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 who has hit 6 half-centuries in 10 matches. Virat Kohli is placed in the fifth spot in the race of the Orange Cap. The Orange Cap race is progressing very rapidly. In that with each match the batsmen are sometimes in lead and sometimes behind.

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ex-captain and opener Virat Kohli was leading the Orange Cap race until a while back. But Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudarshan and Mumbai Indians hard-hitting batsman Suryakumar Yadav have surpassed him with their brilliant batting. Even so, Virat Kohli has still got the golden chance to return to the number one spot.

The 52nd match of IPL 2025 will be played between RCB and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. If Virat Kohli scores more than 60 runs in this match, he will become the second batsman to complete 500 runs this season. With this, he can also top the Orange Cap race.

Not only this, if he scores another half-century, he will equal his own 2016 record of scoring seven half-centuries in an IPL season. In the year 2016, Virat Kohli scored a total of 973 runs including seven half-centuries and was the best batsman of that season.

Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings have become the first team to be eliminated from the tournament this time. At the same time, RCB remains firmly in the top-4 in the playoff race. If RCB manages to defeat CSK today, it will further strengthen its position with 16 points. Along with this, it will also achieve the feat of defeating CSK twice in the same season.

If we talk about the mutual record of both the teams, so far a total of 33 matches have been played between RCB and CSK. Out of these, Chennai has won 21 matches, while RCB has been successful in 12 matches. According to these statistics, Chennai has had the upper hand. However, this season RCB defeated CSK at Chepauk Stadium. Apart from this, in the year 2024 also RCB defeated Chennai in an important match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The last two matches between these two teams have been in favor of RCB.
