Ace India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli and star pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar were seen sharing a ‘kikli’ dance during the franchise’s post-IPL 2026 winning party, with the two veterans
dancing their hearts out.
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru bagged their second successive IPL title, Kohli gave fans a glimpse into his camaraderie with Bhuvneshwar by sharing a funny Instagram story that caught everyone’s attention.
Kohli and Bhuvneshwar were instrumental in RCB’s dominant IPL 2026 campaign, demonstrating that experience continues to be a decisive asset in T20s. As two of the team’s most seasoned cricketers, they led by example, providing stability with the bat and discipline with the ball throughout the team’s successful title defence.
After RCB’s thrilling five-wicket win against the Gujarat Titans in the final at Ahmedabad, the celebrations extended well beyond the stadium. In a viral clip shared by Kohli on his Instagram story, the duo was seen performing the traditional Punjabi kikli dance at the team hotel, holding hands and spinning with joy as they celebrated RCB’s consecutive championship wins.

Both players played pivotal roles in RCB’s title-winning campaign. Kohli emerged as the team’s highest run-scorer, amassing 675 runs in 16 games at a brilliant average of 56.25.
Kohli and Venkatesh added 62 runs in less than five overs to rain on even the distant dreams of the Titans.
Once Rabada was nullified in three straight overs of his, the Titans didn’t have enough ammunition in the Power Play, in which RCB amassed 70/2, to make an impact.
Bhuvneshwar, meanwhile, was the spearhead of RCB’s bowling attack, claiming 28 wickets in 16 games. He played a crucial role throughout the campaign and delivered once again in the final, finishing with figures of 2/29 as RCB restricted the Gujarat Titans to clinch consecutive IPL titles.
