RCB vs GT, IPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting stalwart Virat Kohli put their side in the pole position against the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 game against the Gujarat Titans at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. With the 37-year-old dominating another run-chase, fans have hailed him as the ‘Undisputed god of run-chase’, claiming how well Kohli knows when to change gears.
RCB vs GT, IPL 2026: Where does Virat Kohli stand in the Orange Cap list?
With a stiff 206 to chase and the former Royal Challengers skipper having a new opening partner in Jacob Bethell, he got an early reprieve. Washington Sundar dropped the right-handed batter shockingly when he was on 0 only in his first delivery and he made the Titans pay by hammering two boundaries in the following over. While Bethell perished for a 10-ball 14, Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal kept the scoreboard ticking. The seventh over saw the star batter complete his 300th six and completed his half-century off only 30 deliveries.
The 14th over bowled by Jason Holder saw Kohli smash back-to-back sixes as the right-hander looked on course for a ton. However, the West Indian had him chopped on the very next ball, perishing for 81. The veteran was seen yelling to himself for throwing his wicket away but has taken back the Orange Cap from SunRisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma with 328 runs under his belt.
Here’s how the fans have reacted to Kohli’s innings

Once a wise man said- if you give Virat Kohli a chance, he won’t give you one.

“In run chases, in the history of the game, there is Virat Kohli, then there is daylight, and then there is the rest.”
NOBODY CAN COME CLOSE TO VIRAT KOHLI.

The fact that no one reads a chase like Virat Kohli is just unreal. He knows exactly when to anchor, when to rotate strike, and when to switch gears and finish it off.

RCB vs GT, IPL 2026: B Sai Sudharsan’s ton goes in vain as Gujarat Titans lose their 4th game
Meanwhile, B Sai Sudharsan starred for the Titans with a 57-ball ton and a 128-run stand with captain Shubman Gill set things up strongly for them. However, the likes of Jos Buttler (25) and Gill (32) got starts but weren’t able to convert it into big scores.
The Royal Challengers came back strongly at the death to give themselves a gettable 206. The reigning champions have surged to the second spot now.
