Kohli Leads RCB to Revenge Win Over Punjab Kings

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a dominant seven-wicket victory over Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh, avenging their earlier home defeat. Virat Kohli led from the front with an unbeaten 71 off 54 balls, hitting seven fours and a six. He was well supported by Devdutt Padikkal, who smashed 61 off just 35 balls, including four sixes and five boundaries. 

Their crucial 103-run partnership for the second wicket laid the foundation for a comfortable chase. The off-field rivalry added extra spice, as Kohli responded to Punjab Kings' earlier social media taunt—which recreated his dance—with a fiery celebration directed at Shreyas Iyer. RCB’s social media team also joined in, posting a video of Kohli dancing with the caption, “Every masterpiece has a copy. Stick to the original. Enjoy,” taking a cheeky dig at their rivals.
