The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was electric as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a commanding 5-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The night belonged to Virat Kohli, who played a vintage knock of 49 (34) to anchor the chase.
One of the most viral moments occurred when Kohli dispatched LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi for a massive six into the deep mid-wicket stands. The cameras immediately panned to Anushka Sharma, who was seen beaming with pride and applauding her husband’s brilliance. Despite battling a slight knee concern and recent illness, Kohli’s intensity powered RCB to the top of the points table.
