Virat Kohli, representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), made history in the IPL 2026 final by scoring the fastest fifty of his IPL career, achieving the milestone in just 25 balls against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This remarkable feat surpassed his previous record of 26 balls, set in earlier seasons against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. Kohli's explosive innings was instrumental in RCB's chase of 156 runs, as he contributed significantly to the team's fastest fifty in IPL final history, reached in just 3.3 overs. Despite a mid-innings collapse where RCB lost four wickets for 29 runs, Kohli maintained his composure and continued to score runs, ultimately reaching his half-century with a total of seven fours and two sixes. His performance not only highlighted his ability to perform under pressure but also solidified his status as one of the greatest players in IPL history.
