"Virat Kohli Will Be Hungried Than Ever": Irfan Pathan On RCB Star Ahead Of IPL 2026

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has expressed his belief that Virat Kohli will be more motivated than ever as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) gear up for the IPL 2026 season. Kohli was instrumental in RCB's triumph in the 2025 IPL, where he scored a crucial 43 runs in the final against Punjab Kings, contributing significantly to the team's success. Throughout the season, he showcased his batting prowess, finishing as RCB's top run-scorer with a remarkable 657 runs across 15 matches. Pathan emphasized Kohli's determination and hunger for success, suggesting that his experience and excellence can lead RCB to further victories in the upcoming season. This optimistic outlook comes as fans eagerly anticipate the new season, hoping for Kohli to maintain his form and help secure another championship for the franchise, which has yet to win an IPL title despite several close attempts over the years.
