Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli set the stage on fire in the ongoing game against Mumbai Indians (MI). The 20th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between the teams is taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Virat Kohli made Mumbai Indians bowlers look clueless with his brutal power-hitting in the ongoing match. The opening batter looked in terrific touch and is playing one of the most beautiful innings of his career in the Indian Premier League.

Virat Kohli looked in positive intent right from the start as he took attack on Mumbai Indians bowlers right from the start. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter slammed both pacers as well as spinners with utmost ease and put his team in a dominating position.

Virat Kohli slammed a terrific half-century and what was impressive about his innings was the kind of shots that he played. The opening batter timed the ball to perfection and made sure that he took Royal Challengers Bengaluru past 100 runs with utmost ease.

However, during his stay at the crease, he was also engaged in a banter with Jasprit Bumrah. On the last ball of the 11th over, the fast bowler bowled a 123.8kph, off-cutter to RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, who spotted it late and ended up defending it.

Jasprit Bumrah collected the ball and mocked a throw at the non-striker's end, warning Virat Kohli to go back in his crease. Kohli then shoulder-barged Bumrah with a smile on his face.
