Virat Kohli roared after winning RCB, what danger did he mention after the match?

Bengaluru. Royal Challengers Bangalore's star batsman Virat Kohli, who scored unbeaten 69 runs in 38 balls during the six-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match of IPL 2026, said that the break helped him to return refreshed. In response to the target of 202 runs to win, RCB scored 203 runs for four wickets in 15.4 overs with the help of Kohli's unbeaten 69 and Devdutt Padikkal's 61 runs in 26 balls.

Kohli said after the match, 'It feels good to be back here. The last match I played was the IPL final last year, but the way I batted in the recent ODI series helped me regain my rhythm. Kohli, who has retired from international T20 and Test cricket, said, 'I was not playing those shots which I do not normally play. I know that I am in good shape and I have worked hard on fitness, so the performance will be good. We had a chance to start well and we did just that.

Which danger did Kohli mention?
When asked about playing only one format, he said, 'The kind of schedule that has been there for the last 15 years and the amount of cricket I have played, there has been a risk of fatigue for me from playing too much rather than lack of preparation. Therefore, these breaks helped a lot in returning refreshed.

He said, 'Whenever I come to play, I try to give 120 percent. Never comes unprepared. The extra rest helped me refresh mentally. If you play physically and mentally fresh, you can contribute to the team and this is what every player wants. Describing Devdutt Padikkal's innings of 61 runs in 26 balls as brilliant, he said, 'I wanted to play aggressively in the powerplay, but when I saw him playing like this, I tried to give him more strikes. He played an excellent innings and put the match out of reach of Sunrisers.
