England's Jacob Bethell shared his "unforgettable" experience opening the batting with Virat Kohli for Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, describing intense nerves and an electric atmosphere. He also revealed Kohli's relaxed off-field demeanor, contrasting his competitive on-field persona.
Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has lost the rights to host the IPL 2026 final to Ahmedabad, much to the Karnataka Cricket Association's disappointment. Despite claiming full preparedness and a strong operational record, the KSCA was informed of the shift due to unspecified 'operational and logistical considerations' by the BCCI, sparking debate.
If Sudharsan scores 72 runs against RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, he will become the fastest batter to complete 2,000 runs in IPL history. He currently has 1,928 runs from 46 matches and 46 innings at an average of 45.90 and a strike rate of 145.83, with two centuries and 13 fifties.
