Virat Kohli certainly showed there is still gas left in the generation gold after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clobbered Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Matheesha Pathirana for a couple of boundaries despite being hit on the helmet during their IPL 2025 encounter on Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The incident took place in the 11th over. Bowling just his second over in the game, Matheesha Pathirana banged the ball short at 142kmph. Virat Kohli went for the pull but missed the length of the delivery to get a rare hit on the helmet. The Sri Lankan pacer was quick to enquire if Virat Kohli was fine, with the RCB batter acknowledging with a thumbs up.
Immediately the RCB physio was on the scene conduct a concussion test. The best part was how the right-hander replied in the next two balls from Matheesha Pathirana with a six and a four.
While the former RCB skipper pulled a short ball over the fine leg for a six in the second delivery of the over, Virat Kohli added four more runs in the next with a whip over mid-wicket, just to make sure the golden generation is still here to stay for sometime.
