Kohli for Orange Cap? Jitesh Sharma's Bold IPL 2026 Predictions

Hold onto your hats, IPL fans! Jitesh Sharma has thrown his support behind Virat Kohli to snag the Orange Cap in IPL 2026. The RCB wicket-keeper believes Kohli’s got the chops to dominate the run charts, and honestly, who can argue with that? After all, we’ve seen him tonk bowlers around for years, and his recent form suggests he’s not slowing down any time soon.

But that’s not all—Sharma also made some eyebrow-raising predictions for the top four teams in the points table. Spoiler alert: he’s left out the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians! It’s a bold call, especially after the unpredictability of IPL 2025, where RCB finally broke their title drought. With new ownership from the Birla Group, the Challengers are looking to build on their success.

As the countdown to IPL 2026 begins, Sharma’s fiery predictions add a layer of intrigue to the upcoming season. Can Kohli deliver the goods and lead RCB to more glory, or will other teams rise to the occasion? One thing's for sure, the drama is just getting started!
