Virat Kohli and Sanjiv Goenka’s impressive moment goes viral after RCB vs LSG match


Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued their sublime run in the ongoing IPL 2026 with the dominant win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday (April 15). RCB dominated both with ball and bat as they first restricted LSG to a paltry total and then chased them down with ease in the packed stadium.

However, it was a special moment involving Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) icon Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka that grabbed attention and made it the best moment of this IPL 2026 clash in Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli once again dominated the chase with a brilliant knock of 49 runs off 34 balls as RCB chased down the target in just 15.1 overs to register a five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants and jump to the top of the IPL 2024 points table on Wednesday.

Kohli’s bat is on fire in IPL 2026 despite fitness scare

Talking about his performance, Kohli is currently in excellent form with the bat in the ongoing IPL 2026. He has the Orange Cap with 228 runs in just five matches, where he has already smashed two half-centuries. His numbers showed that his consistency and hunger for runs persist despite retiring from T20I cricket in 2024.

There was also a slight concern about the former Indian captain’s fitness before this LSG match as he was seen training with a bandage on his leg. However, Kohli played without any visible problems and once again led the RCB batting line-up with confidence.
