Virat Kohli continued his fine form in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025), with his third half-century and his 100th fifty in the shortest format against Rajasthan Royals on April 13 (Sunday).
Kohli began the run chase in a slow manner, with 18 off just 13 balls inside the powerplay, but, from thereon, took off nonchalantly. While Salt got to his half-century off 28 balls, Kohli was playing the second-fiddle before taking on Kumar Kartikeya for a massive six.

Eventually, Kohli took the former RCB spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, smashing him for a massive six, getting to his third half-century of the IPL 2025 campaign. The right-hander registered a unique feat, smashing his 100th half-century, the second-most for any batter in T20s.
