Sports News: As the Indian Premier League 2025 heads towards its final stages, the excitement and records are both rapidly escalating. The remaining 13 league stage matches will resume from May 17th, with the first match featuring Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). One player will be under particular scrutiny in this match—Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli has the opportunity to surpass two legendary batsmen, Rohit Sharma and David Warner, in this match. If Kohli scores 73 runs in this encounter, he will become the highest run-scorer against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL history.
Kohli's Special Record Against KKR

According to current statistics, David Warner is the highest run-scorer against KKR with 1093 runs. Rohit Sharma is second with 1083 runs. Virat Kohli is currently third with 1021 runs, but if he scores 73 runs in this match, he will surpass both these legends and claim the top spot.
- David Warner - 1093 runs
- Rohit Sharma - 1083 runs
- Virat Kohli - 1021 runs
- Shikhar Dhawan - 907 runs
Kohli's Continued Brilliance in IPL
Kohli's performance in IPL 2025 has been highly impressive so far. He has scored a total of 505 runs at an average of 63.13 in 11 matches. This season, he has already hit seven half-centuries, showcasing consistency in his batting. Kohli is currently fourth in the season's top scorers and remains firmly in contention for the Orange Cap.
The RCB team has also looked extremely b this season. The team has won 8 out of 11 matches played and has firmly established its claim in the playoff race. Kohli's captaincy and batting have been crucial to this success.
Respect Trumps Records for Kohli
For a player like Virat Kohli, records are merely milestones; the true goal has always been team victory and national pride. Nevertheless, surpassing prominent names like Rohit and Warner would add another significant achievement to Kohli's career. This would not only enhance his personal accomplishments but also serve as inspiration for young players.
