Virat is not finished, the roar is still left, Mohammad Kaif angry at Kohli’s critics, gave a big statement after the RCB vs SRH match

News India Live, Digital Desk: The excitement of IPL 2026 is at its peak, but more than the rain of runs on the field, the form of veteran batsman Virat Kohli is being discussed more. After the close contest between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has slammed those who were questioning Kohli’s career. Kaif bluntly said that those who were saying that ‘Kohli’s time is over’ should now change their opinion. Kaif’s seal on ‘King Kohli’s class’ Mohammad Kaif looked quite aggressive while talking to a sports channel after the match. He said, “Virat Kohli is not an ordinary player. Before the start of this season of IPL, many people were writing on social media that Virat is no longer the same, but his innings against Hyderabad showed that a lion never gets old.” Kaif stressed that even today Kohli’s fitness and hunger to score runs is more than that of the young players. Virat Kohli of old was seen in a different style in this match between RCB and Hyderabad. He not only batted carefully, but also maintained the run rate by playing big shots when needed. According to Mohammad Kaif, Kohli’s biggest strength is keeping himself calm under pressure. He reminded the critics that Kohli has single-handedly won matches for RCB for the last several years and this season too, he is firmly in the race for the Orange Cap. Kaif’s rebuke to critics: ‘The statistics don’t lie’ Citing the statistics, Kaif said that those who question Kohli’s strike rate or his age, they should look at the record of his last few matches. He said, “Virat has proved himself time and again. When the team is in trouble, it is Kohli who stands up. It is difficult to see dedication and discipline like him in anyone else.” This statement of Kaif is now becoming increasingly viral on social media, which Kohli’s fans are considering as an announcement of the return of the ‘King’. Will Virat end RCB’s drought? RCB team has entered IPL 2026 with new enthusiasm. Mohammad Kaif believes that if Virat Kohli continues his form, it will not be impossible for RCB to end the title drought this time. He appealed to the fans to respect their legends and not decide anyone’s career on the basis of one or two matches.
