Virat Kohli, the leading run-scorer in the Indian Premier League, will look to carry forward his form when Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 southern derby on Friday (March 28) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Kohli, who clinched the Orang Cap last season with 741 runs including a century and 5 fifties, has resumed from where he left off, scoring an unbeaten fifty in his first outing in IPL 2025.

The 36-year-old smashed 59* off 36 balls to get RCB off to a winning start against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. During the knock, Kohli crossed 1000 runs against KKR, the fourth team he has reached that landmark against in IPL.

Kohli will now look to pile on more runs against another team he has scored over 1000 runs in the Indian Premier League, when he faces Chennai Super Kings. Here is a look at Virat Kohli's stats vs CSK in IPL:

Among the current CSK bowlers, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja have had the number on Kohli in the past fixtures between the two teams. But none of the others in the current line up have troubled him in the past. Here is a look at his numbers vs current CSK bowlers:
