The anticipation for IPL 2026 is through the roof, especially after a viral clip from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) training camp set the internet on fire! During an intense net session at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, veteran swing king Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled an absolute peach of a yorker that completely rattled the legendary Virat Kohli. Bhuvi, who joined RCB in 2025 and helped them secure their first-ever title last season, showed he hasn’t lost his touch. The delivery was so precise it nearly took out the stumps, leaving even the “King” himself momentarily speechless before he jokingly signaled his respect for the veteran pacer.
This “contest within a contest” is exactly what fans wanted to see as RCB prepares to defend their trophy. Interestingly, Bhuvneshwar is currently sitting on 198 IPL wickets, meaning he’s just two away from becoming the first fast bowler in history to hit the 200-wicket milestone. While the nets saw some friendly rivalry—with Kohli even smashing a massive six off the next ball—the message is clear: the defending champions are looking sharper than ever. With stars like Kohli, Bhuvi, and Devdutt Padikkal all back in the camp, the “12th Man Army” is already counting down the days until the season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 28!
