Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batsman Virat Kohli will have a chance to make special records in the first qualifier match of IPL 2025 to be held against Punjab Kings on Thursday (May 29) at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.

Most fours in IPL

If Kohli hits three fours in this match, he will make the record of hitting the most fours in IPL. At present, this record is in the name of former batsman Shikhar Dhawan, who has hit 768 fours in 221 innings of 222 matches. At the same time, Kohli has hit 766 fours in 257 innings of 265 matches.

Opportunity to beat Malik and Pollard

Kohli has scored 13488 runs in 395 innings of 412 matches played in T20 cricket at an average of 42.01. If he scores 84 more runs, he will beat Shoaib Malik and Kieron Pollard and reach the third position in the list of players scoring the most runs in T20 cricket. Malik has 13571 runs and Pollard has 13537 runs.

Most half-centuries in a season

If Kohli manages to score a half-century in this match, he will reach the joint first position in terms of scoring the most half-centuries in an IPL season. Currently, only David Warner has been able to achieve this feat in IPL history, who scored 9 half-centuries for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. Let us tell you that Hyderabad's team became the champion by defeating RCB that season.

Kohli's performance in the current season has been excellent. He scored 602 runs in 13 matches in the league stage at an average of 60.20, including 8 half-centuries.
