Kohli was soon on his way back to the pavilion even before the Sunrisers bowler had taken the field. The SRH opening batsman had been provoked and retaliated with: "Mate, you got out before I even came on to bowl."

Although RCB ended up losing by 55 runs, they still finished top of the table of the IPL 2026 season.The Bengalureans needed 166 runs in order to secure a spot in the top two places in the league standings.
However, with the way in which the SRH batting lineup has performed so far, it never really looked likely that RCB would have got anywhere near their target. Kohli only managed to score 15 runs from his 10 deliveries while the majority of his colleagues only followed suit. There was a slight glimmer of hope, however, with Rajat Patidar, Krunal Pandya contributing with 56 and 41 respectively.
