Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s IPL 2026 in numbers
Both Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar deserve to celebrate RCB’s consecutive title wins as the duo were absolutely crucial for them throughout the tournament. In the finale too, both Kohli and Bhuvneshwar had put up influential performances which led to Bengaluru beating Gujarat by 5 wickets in an one-sided affair.
While Virat Kohli crossed the 600-run mark in the IPL for the 4th season in a row, Bhuvneshwar Kumar finished 2nd in the Purple Cap (most wickets) race because of one wicket less than the eventual winner Kagiso Rabada who concluded the 2026 edition with 29 scalps to his name.
Kohli amassed a total of 675 runs, finishing 4th in the Orange Cap race. He also broke the century drought by hitting a sensational 105* against arch-rivals Kolkata Knight Riders, which was his 9th overall and 1st since 2024.
When will Virat Kohli be in action next?
Virat Kohli will return to action very soon when India hosts Afghanistan for a 3-match ODI series after the one-off Test match from June 6 to 10. The former captain will don the Indian jersey for the first time since January on June 13 (1st ODI), 17 (2nd ODI) and 20 (3rd ODI).
