Zaheer Khan and Murali Karthik praise Kohli's chasing prowess after RCB's win.
Virat Kohli is back, and he’s not just warming the bench. In RCB’s IPL 2026 opener, he smashed a stunning 69* off just 38 balls, proving once again he’s the grand master of chasing. With five fours and five sixes, Kohli’s performance was a masterclass in T20 batting, striking at a phenomenal 181.58.
Zaheer Khan and Murali Karthik sang his praises post-match, calling him the backbone of RCB’s batting line-up. Kohli’s ability to anchor the innings while also tonking boundaries at will is what makes him a nightmare for bowlers. He’s not just playing; he’s showcasing why he’s one of the best in the business.
With this explosive start, RCB fans are buzzing with excitement. Can Kohli keep this momentum going throughout the tournament? Only time will tell, but if this opener is anything to go by, we’re in for a thrilling season!
