Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have had a strong run in IPL 2025 under the leadership of Rajat Patidar. With 16 points from 11 games, they currently hold the second spot on the points table.

Just one more victory from their remaining matches will confirm their place in the playoffs, though they still have a chance to advance even with 16 points, depending on other match outcomes.

Virat Kohli has been one of the most reliable batsmen for RCB this season, scoring 505 runs in 11 matches with a strong average of 63.12. He has hit seven half-centuries, and his best score—73 not out—came against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.

Currently, the experienced batter is fourth among the top run-scorers of the season, closely trailing Suryakumar Yadav (510), Sai Sudharsan (509), and Shubman Gill (508).
