RCB vs GT News: Indian cricket team’s best batsman and former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli is in terrific form these days in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The guy known as “King Kohli” is only two steps away from becoming a major T20 cricket star. In this format, he has the potential to become the first Indian batsman to reach the 100-half-century milestone. Kohli will have a fantastic chance to get closer to this record on Wednesday when he plays the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Virat Kohli’s record in T20
In T20 cricket, Virat Kohli has amassed 98 half-centuries (50 runs or more) to date. This comprises his 90 half-centuries and 8 centuries. Given his recent IPL performance, it would not be incorrect to predict that he will soon surpass this legendary figure. Kohli has also had a fantastic start to the 2025 IPL. In the first two games, he amassed 90 runs, including an undefeated 59 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Focus on David Warner’s record
Australia’s explosive batsman David Warner holds the record for most half-centuries in T20 cricket, having struck 50 or more 108 times. This comprises his 97 half-centuries and 11 centuries. Chris Gayle, a West Indies star with 105 half-centuries (22 centuries and 83 half-centuries), comes after Warner. With 98 half-centuries, Kohli is now in third place. He can catch Gayle if he scores another fifty in today’s game. He will become the first Indian to match this record if he scores two half-centuries in the next two games.
