RCB vs CSK LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Virat Kohli sets new record as RCB reach 154/3

In a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli made history, becoming the first player to hit 300 sixes in IPL history. His impressive knock of 62 runs off 33 balls came to an end when he was caught at backward point by Khaleel Ahmed off a short delivery from Sam Curran. RCB, however, had a solid foundation with Kohli's performance, and they are now at 154/3 in 16.3 overs.

Earlier, the game saw some exciting batting from Jacob Bethell, who scored 55 off 33 balls, but his brilliant innings came to an end when he was caught by Dewald Brevis at deep mid-wicket off Matheesha Pathirana. RCB, now three wickets down, is looking to accelerate towards a total over 200, with Jitesh Sharma and Rajat Patidar still at the crease.

Pathirana’s twin wickets in the 15th over and a disciplined performance by Noor Ahmad, who conceded just six runs in his second over, have brought CSK back into the game.

CSK’s captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl first, with the absence of Josh Hazlewood from RCB's lineup due to injury, replaced by Lungi Ngidi.
