When chips are down, Virat Kohli has a habit of producing magical moments that lift his teams. In the ongoing IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, the visiting franchise was leading the charge, with KL Rahul looking solid in the middle. He was hitting the bowlers for boundaries in a 176-run chase at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Rahul was batting on 57 when he decided to take on all-rounder Krunal Pandya, but he couldn’t time the ball, and Virat did the remaining work. Kohli ran to his left from long-off and completed a good catch in the extra-cover region.
