RCB cruised to an emphatic nine-wicket win with 15 balls to spare over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur in match 28 of the IPL 2025 season. The Royals batted first and amassed 173-4 from 20 overs courtesy of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dazzling 47-ball 75. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel also clubbed swift 30s each in the innings.

Virat Kohli became the first Indian cricketer in history, and second overall behind David Warner, to complete 100 T20 half-centuries. The legendary Indian batter scaled the landmark figure through his match-winning knock against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.

Apart from recording 100 T20 fifties, Kohli has also charted nine tons in the format throughout his career. Notably, the cricketer racked up 38 of those half-centuries in T20Is for Team India, and 60 in IPL and Champions League T20, all for the RCB franchise.

Batting first, the Mumbai Indians accrued 205-5 off 20 overs, with Tilak Varma’s 33-ball 59 turning out to be the biggest benefactor of the innings. Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav belted quick 40s in the middle overs, while Naman Dhir’s 17-ball 38* turbo-charged Mumbai Indians at the death.
