Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim shared photos of the star Indian batter’s latest hairstyle, which has already become a talking point among fans. With IPL just around the corner, Kohli is set to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) camp as they prepare for the season opener against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on March 22 at Eden Gardens.
Kohli’s stellar form in Champions Trophy 2025
Kohli played a crucial role in India’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign, anchoring the batting lineup with his consistency. His knock in the semi-final against Australia helped India advance to the finals and later clinch their first ICC Champions trophy since 2013, cementing his status as one of the game’s greatest match-winners.
His performances in the tournament have also propelled him to No. 5 in the ICC ODI rankings for batters, reaffirming his dominance in the 50-over format. Despite nearing his mid-30s, Kohli remains at the peak of his game, combining fitness, technique, and experience to deliver under pressure.
RCB’s hopes pinned on Kohli for IPL 2025
As RCB’s all-time leading run-scorer, Kohli will be a key figure in their quest for an elusive IPL title. The 35-year-old was in scintillating form last season, finishing as the tournament’s highest run-getter and securing the Orange Cap. His consistency at the top will once again be crucial for RCB, who will be looking to make a strong start against KKR.
