Virat Kohli's Record For RCB In IPL Finals: Runs, Fifties, Captaincy; All You Need To Know

Virat Kohli has been in fine form in the ongoing IPL 2025 and has played many match-winning knocks for RCB so far. Once again, RCB who are chasing their first trophy, would expect a big knock from their talisman in the final against Punjab Kings.  

Virat Kohli has scored 614 runs for RCB in 14 innings of IPL 2025 with an average of 55.81 and strike rate of 146.53 so far. 

Virat Kohli's record for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL finals isn't great. He has played just one memorable knock in the three finals and even that wasn’t enough to end RCB's title drought.  

Virat Kohli was 20 years old when he played in his first IPL final for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2009 against Deccan Chargers. RCB lost to the Deccan Chargers by six runs in that final with Kohli scoring just 7 runs off 7 balls before being dismissed by Andrew Symonds.  

RCB were chasing a big total of 206 against CSK in the IPL 2011 final. Virat Kohli scored 35 runs off 32 balls in that match, but it was not enough as RCB lost by 58 runs. 

Virat Kohli's best performance in the IPL final came against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. While chasing 209, Kohli scored 54 off 35 but it still wasn’t enough as RCB's middle order faltered and they eventually lost the IPL 2016 final by 8 runs. Kohli was also the captain of RCB during that final.  

Virat Kohli has played IPL matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad which will host the final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). In 6 innings, Kohli has scored 219 runs with an average of 54.75 and strike rate of 131.13 at that venue.
