A Legacy of Consistency

Match Overview
Gujarat Titans won the start and decided to start the match by bowling first. GT skipper Shubman Gill warned his team members to lower their mistakes while needing to change their strategies. Ticketek captain Rajat Patidar assured the public after winning the toss he had full faith in his players and their home crowd backing.
As the match progressed Kohli demonstrated his familiar skills by hitting a perfect drive for four with his bat. His batting innings ended hastily when he swung at a shot against Arshad Khan and flew the ball straight to Prasidh Krishna who caught it beyond the boundary.
The upcoming IPL 2025 season offers Kohli several chances to achieve more batting feats although his journey has just begun. Through his running hunger and focused performance Kohli will achieve more batting records in the future.
He can proudly add this moment to his IPL legacy which shows why he ranks among its top batting performers ever.
