Virat Kohli: Royal Challengers Bangalore team is continuously performing amazingly in IPL 2026. If the match against Rajasthan is left aside, RCB has performed excellently. Now this team has to face Lucknow Supergiants in its next match. However, before this match, RCB will have to take a big decision on Virat. In fact, if Virat Kohli is fielded in this match, this team may suffer a terrible loss and the reason for this is his fitness. Virat Kohli was not fit in the match against Mumbai Indians and he did not come to field.
Virat had definitely scored a half-century in that match but that edge was not visible in his batting either.let me tell you Virat Kohli Still don't seem completely fit. Virat Kohli was seen with his feet bandaged before the match against Lucknow Supergiants. According to reports, Virat Kohli had a slight injury to his left leg and as a precaution he was rested in the second innings. Although Kohli practiced hard before the next match, he was seen wearing a bandage on his left leg.
This clearly shows that Virat Kohli is struggling with fitness problems. He still has a little injury. At present, RCB has not issued any update on Kohli's injury. But if Virat is even slightly injured and if he is given a chance, his injury may increase and it may become difficult for him to play in the upcoming matches.My friends 🥹🤌 pic.twitter.com/lgdcrCTITI
