Virat Kohli's Remarkable Performance in IPL 2025: Insights from Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra's Analysis of Virat Kohli
Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has noted a significant enhancement in Virat Kohli's gameplay against spin bowling this IPL season, contributing to his impressive performance in IPL 2025.
Today, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. In their previous encounter during Qualifiers-1, RCB triumphed over PBKS in Mullanpur. After a series of knockout matches, both teams are set to clash again, each aiming for their inaugural title.
Kohli's Vintage Season
Aakash Chopra shared his thoughts on Virat Kohli in a video on his YouTube channel:
“This season has truly showcased Virat Kohli's vintage form. He is a run-scoring machine, relentless in his pursuit of runs. This year, we have observed a notable improvement in his performance against spin. His strike rate appears more dynamic, especially during 200-plus chases.”
“He continues to evolve as a player, which raises questions about his decision to step away from Test cricket, especially considering his fitness at just 36 years old. He still possesses the skills. Last year, he expressed a desire to prove that he still has it, and indeed, Mr. Kohli, you still do. You could have participated in more Test matches if you chose to, but that’s a decision you made,” he remarked.
