Virat Kohli’s 100th T20 Half-Century A Landmark for King

Virat Kohli, one of cricket’s modern-day legends, reached a historic milestone during IPL 2025 by scoring his 100th half-century in T20 cricket. The iconic knock came in Match 28 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, where Kohli played a match-winning unbeaten innings of 62 off 45 balls. The knock also marked his 66th 50+ score in the IPL, placing him joint-highest with David Warner in terms of 50+ scores in the league. This feat cements Kohli’s position as a consistent performer in the shortest format of the game and showcases his longevity and class over the years. With this innings, Kohli also climbed to 5th place in the Orange Cap standings of IPL 2025, helping RCB win their fourth away game and move into the top three on the points table.
