Chasing 206 for victory, Kohli was dropped by former teammate Washington Sundar while on 0. He made full use of the opportunity and smashed 81 runs in 44 balls to take RCB home and win the Player of the Match award. Kohli also became the Orange Cap holder as at the end of Match 34, he had more runs than any other batter in IPL 2026.
"He's always looking to try and get better. He's what we talk about. He plays what's in front of him. He reads the situation. Probably one of the best players that I've ever known that reads the situation and calculates how the game needs to be panned out from the first ball that he's faced. He's kind of worked out a road to get to the final runs. He's the best chaser to have ever played the game," Steyn said.
Virat Kohli in run chases
Virat Kohli has been unbeaten 24 times in successful run chases. It isn't the most in the league, but despite being a top-order batter, the number of times he has stayed not out is comparable to esteemed finishers like Dinesh Karthik, David Miller, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni.
And it is not just the easy ones. In recent times, Kohli has bossed around the hard chases as well. RCB have successfully chased down a target of 185 or more 7 times in their IPL history. Virat Kohli has scored fifty or more in 6 of these matches, including 2 centuries.
RCB's next match
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Virat Kohli will next be in action on Monday, April 27. The defending champions will face the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
