In the thrilling match of IPL 2025 played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, there was an atmosphere of concern when Virat Kohli was seen holding his hand on his heart due to heat. While chasing RCB's target of 174 runs, Kohli suddenly stopped the game and gestured to Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson to check his pulse. It was an unexpected and human moment in this high-voltage match. Samson showed sympathy despite the surprise and reassured Kohli. Immediately after that, the RCB medical team arrived to help Kohli. In the commentary box, Navjot Singh Sidhu told that Kohli had become a victim of dehydration due to the scorching heat of the afternoon. He was quickly hydrated, after which he resumed the game.

Virat Kohli added another record to his career on Sunday. He has now become the first Asian batsman to complete 100 half-centuries in T20. Former Australia opener David Warner is the first cricketer to score 100 half-centuries in T20 cricket. Kohli registered his 58th IPL half-century which took his tally of 50-plus scores in the league to 66 and he equalled Warner's record for most 50+ scores in IPL history. Warner scored 62 half-centuries and 4 centuries in 184 matches representing Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad during his IPL career.
