There are innings that win matches, and then there are innings that define legacies. On a buzzing night in the IPL 2025 season, Virat Kohli gave fans one of those moments. Facing Rajasthan Royals, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru veteran brought up his 100th T20 half-century—and with it, another staggering milestone in a career already filled with records.
Fifty runs off 41 balls, five boundaries, one six, and a stadium echoing with chants of his name. It felt familiar and yet historic at the same time.
Virat Kohli became one of the three men in the world to have accomplished this achievement, and first in the country to do so. Chris Gayle. David Warner. And now, Kohli.
What sets this apart isn’t just the number. Carrying the weight of the entire country’s expectations and still delivering is what makes him the actual legend. Whether in blue or in red and black, Kohli has turned consistency into an art form.
The cricket world took notice. Teammates, former legends, and fans poured in with tributes. The BCCI called it a “testament to grit, class, and unmatched dedication.” Social media? Flooded. Rightfully so.
At 36, Kohli shows no signs of slowing down, rather aiming for records much higher. And if last night proved anything, it’s this: Virat Kohli isn’t chasing records. He’s building something far bigger.
