In the IPL 2026 match held in Raipur, Virat Kohli played a pivotal role in leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to a commanding victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Kohli scored an impressive 105 runs off 60 balls, helping RCB chase down KKR's total of 192 runs with 5 balls to spare. The match featured a remarkable moment when Manish Pandey executed a stunning catch to dismiss Tim David for just 2 runs, showcasing his exceptional fielding skills. KKR's innings was anchored by Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 71 runs before being run out on the final ball. Despite a strong start, KKR fell short as RCB's batting lineup, led by Kohli, proved too strong. This victory marked a significant return to form for Kohli, who had struggled in previous matches.
