The dynamic Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Star Virat Kohli achieved another breakthrough in an extraordinary career by recording his 100th fifty in T20 cricket, the first Indian in the game’s history to do so and the second overall. With IPL 2025, the stage being Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday, a match against the Rajasthan Royals, Kohli crossed the landmark.
Kohli, aged 35, has reached the milestone in his 405th T20 game, confirming his position as the most dependable and skillful batsman in the shortest version. His 100 fifties in the format of T20 are only second to Australia’s David Warner, the leading scorer of all time with 108 T20 half-centuries.

Kohli Equals IPL Record for Most 50+ Scores

Kohli\’s State in the IPL 2025 Season
Virat Kohli has been showing his class as a player in the IPL 2025, as he was the man to anchor RCB’s innings on more than one occasion through very important scores. His performances so far:
- 59 vs Kolkata Knight Riders*
- 31 vs Chennai Super Kings
- 7 vs Gujarat Titans
- 67 vs Mumbai Indians
- 22 vs Delhi Capitals
Even with one inadequate performance, Kohli’s been unstoppable, calm, and composed. More importantly, he has provided impertinence at the top of the order for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and has once again shown he remains the difference in a match.
As the 2025 IPL season progresses, Kohli will be an important factor in RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs. The significant thing is that his continuous good show has again triggered the talk of him being T20\’s most complete batter, with stats and records being the louder voice of the claim.
