With four wins in six matches Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the consistent teams in the IPL 2025. Bangalore’s quest for their maiden IPL title continues as the league turns 18 this year.
Since Virat Kohli’s jersey no is also 18 the fans have started to hope for an end to the title drought this year.
Thanks to RCB’s decent run so far this year, fans believe that this might be their year. Kohli’s jersey number along with his good form and the 18th IPL season, all of these are being talked about on social media. Fans have started to find a connection and believe in the same.
Kohli was asked about the same as seen in a video uploaded by the franchise. He laughed at it and said, “Were you not feeling it till now? It took 18 years to feel it. What about 17, 16, 19.” However, then he appreciated the thoughts by saying, “I think it’s a good reason to be in a good space and be positive.”
As far as Virat Kohli’s batting is concerned, it has been a good season for him so far. the 36-year-old batting maestro has already scored three half-centuries to his name and added 248 runs to his name. In six innings, he has batted at an average of 62.00 and a strike rate above 143.
In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, he matched David Warner by scoring 66th IPL fifty. While Warner leads the chart of half-centuries in the T20 format with 108 fifties, Kohli stands next with 100 fifties in 401 matches.
The team on the other hands, seems to have found the right combination finally. With four wins from six matches so far, RCB are in the third place with eight points. Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals are occupying the top two positions respectively with same points and better Net Run Rate.
