By Kohli ka King-Size Comeback – Orange Cap phir se unke paas! Prasidh Krishna ne Purple Cap banaye rakhi
Kohli Comeback 2025 has become the headline of the season, as Virat Kohli reclaimed the Orange Cap with a sensational knock against CSK, reigniting memories of his peak form. In what many are calling a defining moment of IPL 2025, the former RCB captain surged past the 500-run mark, proving once again why he’s the heartbeat of Indian cricket. Alongside Kohli’s heroics, Prasidh Krishna continued his dominance with the ball, tightening his grip on the Purple Cap and strengthening Gujarat Titans’ playoff campaign.
The IPL 2025 has been full of unexpected stories, but few have been as satisfying and symbolic as Kohli’s comeback.
A Knock That Shook the Standings
In the high-octane clash between RCB and CSK, all eyes were on the former captain as he walked out to bat. The stakes were high—not just for RCB’s playoff hopes but for Kohli himself, who had narrowly lost the Orange Cap to B. Sai Sudharsan just a few games earlier. Kohli responded like a true champion, smashing 62 off just 33 balls, peppered with trademark cover drives and wristy flicks.
With this innings, Kohli’s tally soared past 505 runs in 11 innings, reclaiming the top spot for the Orange Cap. His average now stands at a mighty 63.13, and his strike rate has remained an explosive 143.46—numbers that underline his dominance in the shortest format even after 16 seasons of IPL.
This was Kohli’s eighth time crossing the 500-run mark in a single IPL season—a record that cements his legacy as the most consistent batter in the tournament’s history.
Social Media Goes Wild
The moment Kohli was crowned with the Orange Cap once again, social media erupted. Fans flooded Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram with messages like:
“Form is temporary, Kohli is permanent!”
“Orange is not just a color, it’s Kohli’s legacy.”
From cricket pundits to meme-makers, everyone joined the celebration. One viral post on Reddit jokingly read:
“Even the cap was like, ‘Sorry I left, boss.’”
It’s this mix of on-field brilliance and off-field fandom that makes Kohli’s journey all the more iconic.
Prasidh Krishna’s Quiet Storm with the Purple Cap
While Kohli stole the limelight with his bat, Prasidh Krishna continued to weave magic with the ball for Gujarat Titans. With 19 wickets in just 10 matches, Krishna has not only topped the Purple Cap chart but has also been instrumental in his team’s playoff push.
His average of 15.36 and a strike rate of 12.31 speak volumes about his consistency. Known for his sharp bounce and pinpoint yorkers, Prasidh has evolved into a complete T20 bowler this season. Whether it’s breaking opening partnerships or cleaning up the tail, he has delivered when it mattered most.
The Race is Far From Over
With a few matches still remaining in the league stage, both races—for the Orange and Purple Caps—are far from settled.
Challengers for the Orange Cap include:
- Sai Sudharsan, just a few runs behind Kohli
- Jos Buttler, who has found form at the right time
- Yashasvi Jaiswal, striking at over 150 consistently
Meanwhile, the Purple Cap race sees competition from:
- Arshdeep Singh, swinging it big in the powerplay
- Mohammed Siraj, who has found his rhythm late in the season
- T Natarajan, deadly in the death overs
The top spots may change again, but for now, Kohli and Prasidh are wearing the caps—and wearing them like the stars they are.
Why This Matters
Kohli’s resurgence is more than just a personal achievement. For a cricket-obsessed nation, it’s a symbol of perseverance, hunger, and elite fitness even at 36. Prasidh Krishna’s dominance with the ball is equally significant—showing that Indian pace bowling has real depth and firepower.
In a season defined by emerging stars and shifting narratives, these two veterans have shown that experience still counts, and form—when combined with grit—can change any game.
Final Word
As IPL 2025 heads into its final phase, the Orange and Purple Cap races will remain major talking points. But if there’s one thing this season has taught us, it’s this: never count out the kings—whether it’s King Kohli or the silent assassin, Prasidh Krishna.
They’re not just wearing caps—they’re wearing crowns.
