Bhuvneshwar yorker rattles Kohli in RCB nets session

Bhuvneshwar Kumar stunned Virat Kohli with a sharp yorker during an RCB nets session ahead of IPL 2026, starting March 28, as bowlers tested batters in intense pre-season training.

The delivery beat Kohli cleanly and hit the stumps, drawing reactions from teammates. “That’s the quality Bhuvi brings, especially in the death overs,” a team insider said. Kohli, however, took it sportingly, with a source adding, “He enjoys these challenges in practice.”

Bhuvneshwar, known for his control, has been a key IPL performer over the years, while Kohli remains central to RCB’s batting plans.

“Such moments help both players improve,” a coach noted, highlighting the competitive edge within the squad ahead of the new season.
