Royal Challengers Bangalore started the run chase in great style as Virat Kohli and Venkatesh Iyer were on a flyer in a fierce run chase, where the pace set early could lead them to finish the chase.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are just steps away from becoming the third team in IPL history to win the title in consecutive seasons. However, after winning their first title in 2025, they have performed very well this season.
bang Bang Bang!! Virat Kohli comes into attack mode in the match against Kagiso Rabada
Kagiso Rabada would have been the biggest threat to RCB in Gujarat Titans’ bowling line-up, especially in the powerplay. This has been a season for Rabada where he has completed 20 wickets in powerplay overs alone.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli remains the master of the run chase, and with not so many runs on the cards, the chasemaster will emerge as the most valuable wicket. However, it appears that Kohli loves challenges, and he faced Rabada with some authority.
In his second over of the spell, Kohli went into all-out attack mode against Rabada and hit three fours in the over. Two fours and a six from Virat Kohli gave RCB the momentum they needed at the start of the game.
Kagiso Rabada made a comeback with his third over, but Kohli’s attack continued.
