Virat has had a mixed performance in the ongoing IPL 2025. He kicked off the tournament with a match-winning knock of unbeaten 59 runs in just 36 balls. He then managed to score just one more fifty in the next four matches, making contributions of 31 (vs CSK), 7 (vs GT), 67 (vs MI) and 22 (vs DC).
The veteran batter is RCB's top run-getter this season so far with 186 runs to his name in five matches at an average of 46.50.
Kohli, who loves batting against RR, will be aiming to extend his scoring tally.. RCB, with three wins from five matches, are placed in the top half of the table at fourth, while RR, with a win less in as many games, are languishing at number seven.

Average: 33.92
Strike Rate: 141.8
Fifties: 4
Hundreds: 1
Boundaries: 28 fours, 22 sixes
The 36-year-old Kohli has established himself as one of the most prolific and consistent players in the history of the IPL. Representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) since the inaugural season in 2008, he has amassed numerous records and accolades over his illustrious career.
Kohli will face a big challenge of in-form Jofra Archer, having been blown hot and cold this season, despite two half-centuries. But with the explosive Salt, who can take off from ball one, for company, the former India captain has had the luxury of showing controlled aggression. He'll be eyeing more consistency with the bat.
Devdutt Padikkal will also be eager to get a big score after underwhelming returns. RCB will also lean on skipper Rajat Patidar, who's been in fine touch, while Tim David and Liam Livingstone remain potent finishers in the middle and lower order.
