Desk: Royal Challengers Bangalore have faced their fourth defeat in IPL 2026. The defending champion RCB lost by 9 runs against Lucknow Super Giants. This was the team’s second consecutive defeat. Coincidentally, once again Virat Kohli’s early dismissal was one of the many reasons for the team’s defeat. In this match, RCB’s star opener Kohli could not even open his account and returned to the pavilion after playing only 2 balls. He was bowled by fast bowler Prince Yadav, who made a shocking revelation after the match.

In this match played in Lucknow, Bengaluru had a target of 213 runs to win. To achieve such a big target, RCB needed a fast start. But within just 8 balls, both the openers of the team returned to the pavilion. The biggest shock in this came in the form of Virat Kohli, who was clean bowled by Prince. This was the first time in IPL after 2023, when Kohli was bowled on 0 while for the first time since 2017, he was bowled without opening the account during a run chase.

As expected, Virat’s dismissal on 0 created a lot of discussion and the reason behind this was the name of Prince Yadav on everyone’s lips. Prince surprised by making a revelation after the match. He told that after the last match of both the teams, Virat had given him a special tip, which he used to dismiss Kohli. Prince told, “Even after the last match, I was talking to Virat bhaiya and he himself told me that as long as the ball is moving from length, then you should not leave your length. I did the same and then got the result in the form of a wicket.”
