In the 57th match of IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batsman Virat Kohli once again proved that big players make the strongest comeback only in difficult times. In the match played against Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat played a brilliant century and gave his team a memorable victory. Before this match, Virat was out in two consecutive matches without opening the account. In such a situation, when he took his first run against KKR, the fans present in the stadium also smiled after seeing his celebration. This moment quickly went viral on social media too.

Why remained calm after completing the century?

While Virat looked very emotional after taking the first run, his reaction after completing the century was completely calm. After the match was over, he also explained the reason for this. Virat said that for him the team’s victory matters more than personal achievement. He said that he was feeling a little pressure on himself due to not scoring runs in the last two matches. However, he considered this pressure not as a weakness but as a means to improve himself. According to Virat, pressure motivates the player to work harder and improve his game.
