“The batsmen who are scoring the most runs, their strike rate is also very good nowadays”, Manjrekar said during the match.

Fans took the clip on social media, and some Kohli fans abused Manjrekar for deliberately trolling Kohli.

Kohli is maintaining his strike-rate around 143 in IPL 2025, and Manjrekar added that nowadays players with the most runs also have a better strike-rate in his statement, which fans took as an offensive comment on him because Kohli won the Orange cap twice.

RCB's leading run-scorer in IPL 2025

Virat Kohli’s supreme form in IPL 2025 has been a reason for yet another playoff qualification for RCB. Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the RCB team with 505 runs in 11 innings, where Devdutt Padikkal is in the second spot with only 247 runs, which is not half of Virat Kohli’s runs.

This stat shows the impact of Kohli in the RCB camp, they signed Phil Salt and Devdutt Padikkal for the top order and their skipper Rajat Patidar also bats in the top four but no player is close to Virat Kohli in terms of runs in this season.
