Indian Bowlers Who Have Troubled Virat Kohli In IPL Ft. Jasprit Bumrah
Virat Kohli remains the undisputed king of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He holds the record for most runs in IPL history and is also the first player to cross the 8000-run milestone.
With 8 centuries to his name, Kohli has stamped his authority across seasons. In IPL 2025, he's once again in the spotlight - not just for his form, but also for his fascinating rivalry with India's premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah.
Kohli in top form in IPL 2025
Virat Kohli is having another strong season. In 11 matches, he has scored 505 runs, including 7 half-centuries, and is currently 4th in the Orange Cap standings. With Suryakumar Yadav leading the chart with 510 runs, Kohli is within striking distance. And with RCB in the playoff race, Kohli may have more games to push ahead and claim the Orange Cap.

Kohli vs Bumrah: A balanced rivalry
Jasprit Bumrah, known for his deadly accuracy and yorkers, is arguably the toughest bowler in world cricket today. Yet, when it comes to the IPL, Bumrah has dismissed Kohli only 5 times - a surprisingly modest record considering Bumrah's dominance. Kohli has handled him well, showing his class under pressure.
Bowlers who have troubled Kohli the most
While Bumrah has only five dismissals against Kohli, two other Indian pacers have outperformed him in this regard:
Sandeep Sharma has dismissed Kohli 7 times, the most by any bowler in IPL history.
Ashish Nehra follows with 6 dismissals against Kohli.
Despite these few hurdles, Kohli's consistency and brilliance keep him ahead of the rest in the Indian Premier League.
