RCB vs GT News: Indian cricket team’s star batsman and former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli is in great form these days in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Known as “King Kohli”, this player is just two steps away from a big achievement in T20 cricket. He can become the first Indian batsman to touch the mark of 100 half-centuries in this format. Today, on Wednesday, Kohli will have a great opportunity to move towards this record in the match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Virat Kohli’s T20 record
Virat Kohli has so far scored 98 half-centuries (50 or more runs) in T20 cricket. This includes his 8 centuries and 90 half-centuries. Looking at his current form in the IPL, it would not be wrong to say that he can touch this historic figure soon. Kohli has also started IPL 2025 brilliantly. He scored 90 runs in the first two matches, including an unbeaten 59 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
David Warner’s record in focus
The record for most half-centuries in T20 cricket is held by Australia’s explosive batsman David Warner, who has scored 50 or more 108 times. This includes his 11 centuries and 97 half-centuries. Warner is followed by West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who has 105 half-centuries (22 centuries and 83 half-centuries). Kohli is in third place with 98 half-centuries and with another fifty in today’s match, he can get closer to Gayle. If he scores two half-centuries in the next two matches, he will become the first Indian to equal this record.
