RCB vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Virat Kohli's ton powers RCB to six-wicket win over KKR

RCB vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Virat Kohli bounced back from a lean patch in the previous two matches with a classy unbeaten century as Royal Challengers Bengaluru cruised to a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL clash here on Wednesday.

Chasing 193 for victory, Kohli smashed an unbeaten 105 off 60 balls, studded with 11 boundaries and three sixes, and shared a match-defining 92-run partnership for the second wicket with Devdutt Padikkal (37 off 27 balls) to guide RCB to win in 19.1 overs.

Following the win, RCB climbed to the top of the table with 16 points, level with Gujarat Titans but ahead on net run rate.

Earlier, KKR keeper-batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi anchored the innings with a fine 71 as his side posted a competitive 192/4.

Raghuvanshi's 46-ball innings was studded with seven boundaries and three sixes.

He shared a crucial 68-run partnership for the third wicket with Cameron Green (32 off 24 balls) and another key 76-run stand for the fourth wicket with Rinku Singh (49 not out off 29 balls).

Brief Scores:

Kolkata Knight Riders: 192 for 4 in 20 overs (Angkrish Raghuvanshi 71, Cameron Green 32, Rinku Singh 49; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1/34).

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 194 for 4 in 19.1 overs (Virat Kohli 105 not out, Devdutt Padikkal 39; Kartik Tyagi 3/32).

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Why This Was One of Kohli’s Finest IPL Hundreds
Not all centuries carry the same weight, and Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 105 against Kolkata Knight Riders may go down as one of the most complete T20 innings of his IPL career.

The context made it special. Kohli walked into the match after two successive ducks, under pressure, with Bengaluru chasing an imposing 193 in a crucial playoff race. Add a rain delay and a slightly two-paced pitch, and the challenge became even tougher.

Yet Kohli responded exactly as elite athletes often do — with composure. He celebrated merely getting off the mark, then immediately settled into rhythm with a series of boundaries against Vaibhav Arora. Once he survived a dropped chance on 21, he never looked back.

What stood out was the balance in his innings. There was no desperation to dominate every over. Kohli trusted his strengths, picked his bowlers carefully, and kept the scoreboard moving with relentless running between the wickets. His partnership with Devdutt Padikkal completely shifted the game in Bengaluru’s favour.

By the time he reached his century, the result was almost certain. It was not just entertainment; it was a masterclass in how to chase under pressure — the kind of innings that has defined Kohli’s legendary white-ball career.

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Bengaluru’s Road to the Top Two
The race for the IPL 2026 playoffs is entering its decisive phase, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have positioned themselves brilliantly after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in Raipur.

With the victory, Bengaluru climbed to the top of the points table and strengthened their chances of finishing in the top two — a massive advantage in the IPL playoff structure. More importantly, this team no longer looks dependent on one or two individuals. Different players are contributing at different stages, exactly what captain Rajat Patidar highlighted after the match.

The batting unit appears balanced and fearless. Devdutt Padikkal has found consistency, while Kohli continues to anchor chases with remarkable calmness. The bowling attack, meanwhile, has adapted smartly to conditions. Against KKR, Bengaluru opted for four seamers because of the variable bounce in Raipur, and the strategy worked effectively.

There is also visible clarity within the squad. Patidar repeatedly emphasized taking “one game at a time,” a mindset that often separates composed teams from desperate ones late in the season.

With upcoming matches in Dharamshala and Hyderabad, RCB know tougher tests await. But right now, they look like a side peaking at the perfect time — disciplined, flexible, and full of confidence heading into the playoffs.

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Pressure Is a Privilege: Kohli’s Winning Mindset
After scoring his ninth IPL century, Virat Kohli spoke less about records and more about pressure, preparation, and purpose. His words perhaps explained why he continues to dominate T20 cricket even after so many years.

Coming into the game, Kohli had registered back-to-back ducks. For most players, that could create panic. For Kohli, it became motivation. He admitted that failures push him back into intense preparation and sharpen his focus in practice sessions. That mindset was visible throughout his unbeaten 105 against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Kohli’s innings was not built on reckless power-hitting. Instead, it was constructed with discipline. He targeted specific lengths, ran hard between the wickets, and attacked only when the percentages were in his favour. It was classic chase batting — controlled aggression mixed with game awareness.

Perhaps the most striking part of his post-match interview was his honesty about nerves. Kohli said pressure keeps him humble and hungry. While many great athletes try to hide vulnerability, he embraced it openly.

For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kohli remains far more than a run-scorer. He is the emotional centre of the side, the player who transforms tense chases into manageable situations and inspires belief across the dressing room.

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: How KKR Let the Match Slip Away
Kolkata Knight Riders entered the contest against Royal Challengers Bengaluru with momentum on their side, having won four consecutive matches. Yet by the end of the night in Raipur, their playoff hopes were hanging by a thread.

At 192/4, KKR had every reason to feel confident. Ajinkya Rahane believed the total was competitive on a surface that became slower as the innings progressed. Their middle-order batters had paced the innings smartly, and the bowling attack had repeatedly delivered in the middle overs throughout the tournament.

But matches at this level are often decided by moments, and KKR failed in the crucial ones. The biggest turning point came when Virat Kohli was dropped on 21. Against a batter of his quality, opportunities are rare, and KKR paid the price heavily. Their fielding, usually one of their strengths this season, looked unusually sloppy with multiple misfields and another dropped catch.

The absence of control from the seamers also hurt them badly. Sunil Narine remained economical, but the support around him lacked consistency.

For KKR, this defeat was not just another loss. It was a reminder that against elite teams, even small mistakes can end an entire campaign.

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Virat Kohli Turns Back Time in Raipur
In a season where every match carries playoff weight, Royal Challengers Bengaluru produced one of their most complete performances against Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur. Chasing 193 on a slightly tricky surface, the defending champions rode on a vintage unbeaten century from Virat Kohli to seal a six-wicket win and move to the top of the IPL 2026 points table.

What made Kohli’s innings special was not just the hundred itself, but the control with which it came. After two consecutive ducks, there was pressure on the former captain to respond. Instead of forcing strokes, he trusted his strengths — placement, timing, and strike rotation. His fifty came off just 32 deliveries, and from there he accelerated seamlessly.

The defining phase of the chase was Kohli’s 92-run partnership with Devdutt Padikkal. While Padikkal played fluently, Kohli dictated the tempo and never allowed KKR’s spinners to settle. KKR’s dropped chances only made matters worse.

For Bengaluru, this victory was about more than two points. It reinforced their credentials as genuine title contenders and perhaps the favourites for a top-two finish this season.
04:17 (IST) May 14
Coming into the match after two successive ducks, Kohli looked in control from the beginning. He celebrated with a fist pump after getting off the mark and quickly shifted gears by hitting four boundaries in a single over off Vaibhav Arora. He attacked both pace and spin through the innings and ensured the required rate stayed under control throughout the chase.
