Virat Kohli, one of the safest fielders at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, dropped a catch, which was not very easy to take. Fans in the gallery were ready to celebrate, but as cricket is a game of uncertainty, even the best fielder on the planet could miss the easiest of the fielding works. Virat Kohli is also a part of the game and missed an easy chance tonight in the opener of the IPL 2026 season during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (RCB vs SRH) match.
On the third ball of the 18th over, Aniket Verma tried to smash Bhuvneshwar Kumar hard down the ground. In the last moment of making the connection, the batter lost focus and most timed the shot. The ball went high in the air. Virat Kohli spotted the ball and ran forward from the long-on region to grab the ball to dismiss Verma.
Virat Kohli almost took the catch
Virat made a significant amount of ground to come under the ball. He did everything right but failed to grab it. Aniket Verma got an extra lifeline. Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli’s wife, who was on the stand, was spotted laughing at her husband’s mistake on the ground.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Watch the moments back-to-back:
The ball bursts through Virat’s hands and Mrs. Kohli has a smile. Aniket survives.#ViratKohli #AnushkaSharma #TATAIPL #RCBvSRH #KhelBindaas #PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #IPL2026 #Bengaluru pic.twitter.com/U8OCXkqKed
