In a thrilling match at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) claimed a rain-delayed victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2026. Virat Kohli showcased his exceptional batting skills, scoring an unbeaten 105 runs off 60 deliveries, leading RCB to successfully chase down KKR's total of 192 runs with 5 balls and 6 wickets remaining. Kohli's performance marked a significant milestone as he became the fastest player to reach 14,000 runs in T20 cricket, surpassing Chris Gayle by 30 innings. Former Indian opener Krishnamachari Srikanth praised Kohli's ability to dominate the chase, stating, “Nobody comes close to Kohli in the world.” Despite a strong effort from KKR's Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 71 runs, RCB's batting depth proved too strong. This victory positions RCB at the top of the IPL 2026 standings.
