A funny segment by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) featuring Virat Kohli has created a massive stir among fans in the middle of the ongoing IPL 2026. Virat Kohli was given a simple challenge, and the RCB icon completed it with perfection which went viral on social media platforms.
The task was very interesting, as Kohli had to remain seated on the chair until he heard the name of the player whom he believed was a bigger match-winner than Chris Gayle in IPL history. As soon as that name came, he had to stand up. As soon as the round started, big names started coming one after the other.

The list included some of the biggest IPL stars like David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis, Kieron Pollard, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina. But Kohli did not react to any of these names and remained sitting, because he was not convinced yet.

This moment also showed the strong relationship between Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Both the players have formed many memorable partnerships for RCB over the years. In fact, he has created history by making five century partnerships and even two double century partnerships.
This move by RCB made AB de Villiers a real IPL legend
However, Chris Gayle remains one of the biggest entertainers in IPL history with almost 5000 runs. Talking about De Villiers, the Proteas legend started his IPL journey with Delhi Daredevils in 2008, but before the 2011 season, he was released and then picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
And this move completely changed his IPL career. At RCB, AB de Villiers became one of the biggest stars in the league. Known as “Mr. 360” for his ability to play shots all around the field, he entertained fans with his unique batting style and match-winning innings.

Kohli’s sensational IPL 2026 form
Kohli, on the other hand, has been in remarkable form in the ongoing IPL 2026. Currently, the dashing right-handed batsman holds the Orange Cap as the highest run-scorer in the tournament.
In just five matches, Kohli has scored 228 runs for Royal Challengers Bangalore at an average of 57 and a strike rate of 158. He will be seen in action on April 18 when RCB takes on Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2026 match.
