Tezzbuzz Desk- Virat Kohli has given a befitting reply to the critics by making a spectacular comeback in IPL 2026. After being out for zero in two consecutive matches, Virat created such a storm in Raipur that the bowlers of Kolkata Knight Riders looked completely helpless. On the basis of his unbeaten century, Royal Challengers Bangalore registered an important win by defeating KKR by 6 wickets.

Virat Kohli scored unbeaten 105 runs on 60 balls in the 57th match of IPL 2026 played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, Raipur. His brilliant innings included 11 fours and 3 sixes. Virat completed his century in just 58 balls and once again proved why he is called a player of big matches.

RCB, chasing the target of 193 runs, did not have a good start and Jacob Bethel was out early. After this Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal took over the innings. There was a great partnership between the two batsmen, which changed the course of the match.

Devdutt Padikkal scored 39 runs, while captain Rajat Patidar was out after scoring 11 runs. However, Virat stood firm at one end and took the team to the destination of victory. In the end, Jitesh Sharma finished the match by scoring 8 runs on 5 balls.

By playing such explosive innings after two consecutive ducks, Virat showed that form is temporary, but class always remains.
