Chinnaswamy ke maidaan par ek baar phir Virat Kohli ka raaj chala! Jahan Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ne Sunrisers Hyderabad ko dhool chataai, wahin unke captain aur sabse bade star ne dikha diya ki ‘break’ se unka game aur bhi shandar ho jaata hai. Yeh sirf ek half-century nahi thi, yeh King Kohli ka message tha: “Main abhi bhi yahan ka Boss hoon!”
Virat Kohli Ka Power-Packed Comeback: Asli Maajra Yeh Hai
IPL 2026 ke aagaz mein Virat Kohli ne 38 balls par 69 runs ki zabardast innings kheli, aur apni team RCB ko Sunrisers Hyderabad ke khilaf ek commanding win dilai. Pichli baar unhone IPL 2025 final mein T20 khela tha, jisme RCB ne apna pehla IPL trophy jeet kar itihaas racha tha. Aur ab, unhone apni title defence ki shuruwat 202 runs ka target 15.4 overs mein chase karke ki, jisme Kohli not out rahe.
Match ke baad Kohli ne jo kaha, usne sabka dil jeet liya. Unhone saaf kiya ki itne saalon se jo non-stop cricket chal rahi hai, usme ‘burnt out’ hone ka zyada risk tha, na ki ‘undercooked’ hone ka. Isliye, breaks unke liye kisi vardaan se kam nahi hain. “These breaks helped me immensely. I stay fresh, I stay excited. Whenever I come back to play, it's 120%. I'm not coming back, you know, underprepared.” Unka kehna tha ki yeh extra rest unhe mentally freshen up karta hai. Jab physical fitness aur mental excitement dono ek saath aate hain, tabhi ek player team ke liye best de pata hai.
T20 se door rehne ke bawajood, Kohli ka form kahin nahi gaya tha. January mein New Zealand ke khilaf teen ODIs mein unhone 93, 23 aur 124 runs banaye. Usse pehle December mein South Africa ke khilaf ODI series mein bhi Kohli ne 302 runs jode the, jisme do centuries shamil thin. Isi momentum ko unhone IPL mein bhi barkarar rakha. SRH ke bowlers ko unhone khoob dhoya, paanch chouke aur paanch chakke lagaye. Harshal Patel ke 16th over mein 6, 4, 4, 4 maarkar match finish karna, King Kohli ki Dominance ka saboot tha. Unhone kaha ki woh woh shots nahi khel rahe the jo woh usually nahi khelte. Unhe apni rhythm aur physical fitness par poora bharosa tha. Ab agla challenge Chennai Super Kings ke khilaf hai, aur hum sabko pata hai ki uss Mahasangram mein kya hone wala hai!
