Virat Kohli impressed in the IPL 2026 opener with an unbeaten 69 as Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased 202 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He shared a 101-run stand with Devdutt Padikkal to guide the chase. A straight six off Eshan Malinga drew praise from Kevin Pietersen. “No one sells what Virat Kohli has,” he said. Earlier, Ishan Kishan scored 80 to help his side post 201. Kohli’s calm batting ensured a comfortable win with overs to spare. (PC: HT)
