Former Indian pacer Varun Aaron has stirred the pot ahead of the IPL 2025 final by making a bold statement about Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) icon Virat Kohli. In a pre-final analysis show, Aaron cheekily remarked, “Kohli is definitely going to pick a battle with someone in the final — it’s just in his DNA.”
The comment, delivered with a grin, has since sparked excitement and speculation among fans and pundits alike. Known for his fiery competitiveness and animated on-field presence, Kohli is no stranger to confrontations — whether it’s with opposition players, umpires, or even the crowd. Aaron’s remark seemed more like a playful prediction than a dig, but it has added an extra layer of drama to an already high-stakes IPL final.
Kohli’s Intensity: A Double-Edged Sword
Kohli has always worn his heart on his sleeve. Over the years, his passion has led to both inspiring moments and fiery exchanges. Whether it was his face-off with Gautam Gambhir in 2023 or his stare-down with Naveen-ul-Haq, Kohli thrives in high-voltage scenarios. With RCB entering the final after an extraordinary comeback run this season, Kohli is expected to be at his most intense.
Aaron, who has shared the dressing room with Kohli during their India days, seemed to know exactly what to expect. “If there’s tension in the air, you can bet Kohli will walk straight into it. That’s when he’s most dangerous — and most entertaining,” Aaron said.
Fans React
Kohli fans were quick to embrace the comment. Social media exploded with memes, speculations, and mock bets on who might end up in Kohli’s crosshairs this time — from aggressive fast bowlers to vocal fielders or even the opposition captain.

Another commented,
“Battle or not, we want that Kohli energy. Bring it on!”
Final Showdown
RCB is set to face off against the Rajasthan Royals in what promises to be a blockbuster clash. Kohli has been in top form this season, anchoring several key chases and turning up big when it mattered most. With the title within reach, his intensity is expected to be dialed up even higher.
Whether or not he ends up picking a “battle,” one thing is certain — all eyes will be on Kohli as he steps onto the field. If his past finals performances are anything to go by, the opposition would do well to keep their emotions in check — because when Kohli gets fired up, he often takes the game away.
As Varun Aaron’s comment echoes through the cricketing world, the anticipation for the IPL final only grows. Will Kohli truly clash with someone on the field? Or will he let his bat do the talking? Either way, the final promises drama, passion, and top-tier cricket.
