England’s young rising star Jacob Bethell showered praise on Virat Kohli for helping him during IPL 2025.

England’s young rising star Jacob Bethell showered praise on Virat Kohli for helping him during IPL 2025. Bethell played only two matches for RCB in his debut season. The left-hander could only score 12 runs in his first game however he scored a fine knock of 55 runs off just 33 balls in his second game against Chennai Super Kings.

The southpaw added 97 runs for the opening alliance with Virat Kohli in that game. On the other hand, RCB clinched their maiden title in IPL 2025 and Virat Kohli played a key role in the franchise’s triumph.

Bethell said in an interview with Sky Cricket, “It’s been great. [Virat] was unbelievable with helping me out, and even just the things he didn’t say to me personally, but just watching how he goes about training and how he approaches things.”

“Especially like chasing in a T20 game. That was unbelievable to watch and unbelievable to see first hand, just how easily he is able to shift up and down the gears and is able to template an innings depending on what is needed.”

Bethell scored 99 runs in two ODI innings against West Indies at an impressive strike rate of 122.22 after returning from India. The left-hander scored 85 runs in three T20Is against the Windies at an average of 85 and a whirlwind strike rate of 173.47.

Meanwhile, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli delivered consistently at the top of the order for RCB. While Kohli scored 657 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.75 and a strike rate of 144.71, Salt scored 403 runs in 13 games at an average of 33.58 and a blistering strike rate of 175.98.
