[WATCH]- Kohli Tells Samson To Check Heartbeat Following 100th T20 Fifty in RCB vs RR IPL 2025 Clash

Virat Kohli sparked concern among fans after asking Sanju Samson to check his heartbeat during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday. To counter the challenging batting conditions, Kohli took a physically intense approach during his half-century.

His knock featured 24 singles, three doubles, four boundaries, and two sixes. The chase master delivered once again as Kohli led RCB to a nine-wicket win. He played a steady role at the start of the innings while Phil Salt launched a fiery attack, smashing five fours and six sixes in his quickfire fifty.

Although Kumar Kartikeya provided a breakthrough, Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal calmly guided RCB to victory, with Padikkal scoring a brisk 40. Kohli had an early let-off when Riyan Parag dropped a straightforward catch at mid-off off Sandeep Sharma’s slower delivery, but the RCB star quickly regained composure and anchored the chase.

He reached his milestone 100th T20 fifty in style, stepping out to loft Wanindu Hasaranga straight down the ground for a boundary. The 15th over, which went for 14 runs, reduced the equation to just 28 needed off 30 balls, all but confirming the outcome.
