Mumbai Indians (MI) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 20 of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, April 7. This high-voltage clash promises fireworks as two of the league’s most followed teams go head-to-head. All eyes will be on the two modern-day legends of Indian cricket — Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma — as fans hope to witness another classic between the veterans.
However, Rohit Sharma’s participation remains uncertain. He missed the last game against Lucknow Super Giants due to an injury, and his availability for the MI vs RCB clash is yet to be confirmed. On the other hand, Virat Kohli is fit and ready, and the spotlight is firmly on him, not just for his batting but also because he is on the verge of breaking major T20 records.
Kohli is just six boundaries away from reaching 1000 fours in T20 cricket played in Asia. After hitting a single four in RCB’s previous game against Gujarat Titans, Kohli’s tally moved to 994. With Wankhede’s short boundaries and a true pitch, he has a strong chance of achieving this milestone against MI.
Another record within Kohli’s reach is 150 catches in T20s in Asia. The former RCB skipper currently has 146 grabs to his name and needs four more to reach the landmark. While it might be a tough ask in a single game, Kohli’s sharp reflexes and fielding prowess mean the possibility can’t be ruled out.
As MI and RCB gear up for another blockbuster encounter, Kohli’s pursuit of personal milestones adds an exciting subplot to the game. Fans will be eager to see if the RCB star makes history under the lights at Wankhede.
