Jab sher do kadam peeche leta hai, toh samajh lo ki shikaar bhayankar hone wala hai. Virat Kohli ke saath bhi kuch aisa hi hua. Lagatar do match mein zero par out hone ke baad duniya bhar ke critics ne apna gyaan baantna shuru kar diya tha, lekin Raipur ke maidan par King ne woh kar dikhaya jo sirf wahi kar sakte hain. Kolkata Knight Riders ke 193 runs ke target ko Royal Challengers Bengaluru ne mazaak bana diya, aur is chase ke architect rahe wahi purane King Kohli.
The Inner Story: Padikkal ne aankhon dekha haal bataya
Is match mein Virat Kohli ke saath crease par maujood Devdutt Padikkal ne bataya ki jab Kohli batting kar rahe the, toh aisa lag raha tha ki baaki sab sirf spectator hain. Padikkal ke mutabik, unke paas stadium ki best seat thi kyunki woh dusre end se Kohli ka masterclass dekh rahe the. Kohli ne batting ke dauran bilkul bhi baggage carry nahi kiya, jabki woh khud thode nervous the match se pehle. Do ducks ke baad aisi mental strength dikhana hi Virat Kohli ko baaki sabse alag banata hai.
Padikkal ne disclose kiya ki unka plan simple tha: partnership ko lamba le jaana. Jab RCB ne 13.1 overs mein hi 129 runs board par laga diye the, tab tak match KKR ke haath se nikal chuka tha. Padikkal ne 39 runs ki shaandar pari kheli, lekin unka focus sirf Kohli ke saath rehkar game ko deep le jaane par tha. Is jeet ke saath Royal Challengers Bengaluru ab IPL 2026 points table mein top par baith gayi hai.
