Kohli vs Iyer in three RCB vs PBKS encounters in IPL 2025 so far
Both Kohli and Iyer failed to perform in the first-leg encounter between PBKS and RCB this season. In the second leg, Iyer failed again, but Kohli played a match-winning knock alongside Devdutt Padikkal, scoring 73* runs off just 54 balls.
In Qualifier 1, both players failed once more. However, after Iyer’s outstanding unbeaten knock in Qualifier 2, PBKS fans will have high hopes for him in the final. As for Kohli, whenever he comes out to bat, fans always expect a big innings from him—and for RCB to lift their maiden title, his runs will be crucial.
In the race for the Orange Cap this season, Virat Kohli is in the fifth spot with 614 runs in 14 games while Shreyas Iyer is in the sixth position now with 603 runs in 16 games.
