Watch: Virat Kohli Asks Sanju Samson To Check Heartbeat After Scoring His 100th T20 Fifty, Leaves Fans Worried
Virat Kohli put his body to the test in his fifty against the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 when he even asked Sanju Samson to check his heartbeat.
Virat Kohli left his fans worried when he asked Sanju Samson to check his heartbeat during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s match against the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday.
Kohli, in a bid to tackle the tough batting conditions, opted to take a physically intensive approach during his fifty. In his knock, the veteran has a total of 24 singles, alongside three doubles as well alongside four boundaries and two maximums.

The chasemaster was back at it again as Kohli scripted yet another win for RCB who went on to come out victorious by a margin of nine wickets. Kohli sat back in the initial stages of the chase with Phil Salt taking on the bowlers, showing no mercy as he smashed five boundaries and six sixes in his fifty.
Despite Kumar Kartikeya getting the big breakthrough, Kohli alongside Devdutt Padikkal saw the chase through to the end with the latter scoring a quick knock of 40.
Kohli too had an early life, with a miscue off Sandeep’s slower ball was put down by Riyan Parag at mid-off, a straightforward chance. But the RCB’s iconic batter regrouped quickly and settled into his anchor role.

He brought up his landmark 100th T20 fifty in style, dancing down the track to loft Wanindu Hasaranga straight over his head for a boundary. That over, the 15th of the innings, yielded 14 runs and brought the equation down to 28 off 30 balls to seal the result beyond doubt.
Kohli now has 100 fifties and nine centuries from 405 T20 matches.
Earlier, 23-year-old Jaiswal struck 10 fours and two sixes, handling the sluggish track with poise while others around him struggled.
After seeing off a disciplined opening burst from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal, Jaiswal began to open up in the fifth over with a six and a four off Dayal.
He reached his second fifty of the season in 35 balls and stitched a 56-run stand with Riyan Parag (30 off 18) that came in just 39 balls.
