Indian veteran batsman Virat Kohli has added another feather to his cap by scoring a half-century in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The right-handed batsman now has the most fifty-plus scores in IPL. He has displaced David Warner from the top spot.

The RCB opener reached the milestone after his unbeaten half-century during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) match on Sunday, April 20.
