IPL 2026: WATCH- Virat Kohli fist pumps to celebrate his first run after two consecutive ducks

KKR was asked to bat first and posted 192/4 in 20 overs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 57th match of the IPL 2026 on May 13, 2026. This game is being played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and chose to chase.

Finn Allen (18) and Ajinkya Rahane (19) tried to give KKR a flying start, but in actual fact, it was Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Cameron Green and their 68-run partnership that gave KKR the momentum. Green fell for 32 runs, but Raghuvanshi carried on until the last ball.

He found further support in Rinku Singh while scoring 71 with 7 fours and 3 sixes. Rinku smashed 49* in 29 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes as KKR posted 192/4 in 20 overs.

Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethell opened for RCB, and Saurabh Dubey bowled an excellent first five balls to Bethell. Bethell was able to take one leg bye on the fifth ball, bringing Virat Kohli on strike.

Notably, Virat Kohli had scored ducks in his last two games. He did seem a bit nervous facing his first ball, which was bowled at his pads, which Kohli nudged towards mid-wicket and set off for an easy single.

However, being the character that he is, Kohli decided to celebrate his first run in three games with a fist pump after completing the single at the bowling end. He further did a victory motion as well while going to meet Bethell in the middle of the pitch.
