Virat Kohli produced a match-winning unbeaten century to lead Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a six-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2026 encounter. Chasing a target of 193, Kohli's brilliant 105 off 60 deliveries secured the win with five balls remaining.

In the chase, after a steady start and contributions from Jacob Bethell and Devdutt Padikkal, Kohli took charge. He reached his half-century midway through the chase and went on to score his ninth IPL century, sealing a memorable win for RCB.
