IPL 2025: Kohli, Padikkal Smash Fifties As RCB Post A Massive 205/5 Against RR
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal smashed brilliant fifties as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) posted a massive 205/5 in their 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 42 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday.
Aiming to get their first home win in IPL 2025, Kohli and Padikkal hit 70 and 50 respectively while sharing a commanding 95-run stand for the second wicket. Tim David and Jitesh Sharma hit cameos of 23 and 20 respectively to help RCB post their highest total while batting at home for the first time in the competition.
Pushed into batting first, Kohli and Phil Salt had to face some searing bowling from Jofra Archer, though the former got a boundary off him via a glove edge. Salt had a slice of luck when batting on one when he toe-ended a low full toss from Fazalhaq Farooqi and stand-in captain Riyan Parag put down the catch at mid-off.
