The moment unfolded while RCB were batting, when Kohli moved towards Holder for a quick word during a changeover in the field. Holder then put an arm around Kohli\u2019s back as the two spoke for a brief stretch before they returned to their respective positions, with a clip of the interaction going viral on social media.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Virat Kohli was seen having an animated conversation with Jason Holder during RCB\u2019s innings in the IPL 2026 match on Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>The exchange occurred around the time Holder was moving to his fielding spot after a change of ends.<\/li>\n<li>Kohli also appeared to argue with match officials after a controversial catch involving Holder that led to RCB captain Rajat Patidar\u2019s dismissal.<\/li>\n<li>Patidar\u2019s wicket triggered further trouble for RCB, with three more dismissals falling within the next four overs.<\/li>\n<li>RCB were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs, before Gujarat chased the target with 25 balls remaining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Kohli\u2019s animated moment with Holder<\/h2>\n<p>During RCB\u2019s innings, Kohli approached Holder for what looked like a short but lively exchange. Holder responded by placing his arm around Kohli\u2019s back as they shared a quick conversation. After that brief interaction, both players went back to their roles, but the clip of the incident spread rapidly online.<\/p>\n<h2>Controversy after Holder\u2019s catch and RCB\u2019s collapse<\/h2>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s animated presence didn\u2019t stop there. He was also seen complaining to the officials regarding Holder\u2019s catch that dismissed RCB captain Rajat Patidar. Earlier in the game, Kohli had provided a brisk start, scoring 28 runs from just 13 deliveries. Later, he was spotted near the boundary rope in a prolonged discussion with the fourth umpire, with his body language suggesting he was seeking clarity on the decision, especially because replays did not appear to show conclusive evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Patidar\u2019s dismissal proved a major blow for RCB, particularly given his recent form and the importance of his role in the middle order. After the captain\u2019s wicket, RCB slipped further, losing three additional wickets in a span of just four overs.<\/p>\n<h2>Padikkal\u2019s fight, then GT\u2019s chase<\/h2>\n<p>Amid the collapse, Padikkal continued to resist and kept the scoreboard moving by rotating the strike effectively and finding boundaries regularly. However, his stand ended when Rashid Khan produced a sharp delivery to dismiss him. Padikkal made 40 off 24 balls, striking five fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n<p>Even with Padikkal\u2019s resistance, RCB were eventually dismissed for 155 runs in 19.2 overs. Arshad Khan was the standout bowler for Gujarat, taking three wickets.<\/p>\n<p>In response, GT chased the target successfully with 25 balls to spare. Shubman Gill led the chase with a quick 43 off 18 balls, while Jos Buttler and Rahul Tewatia played key cameo roles to help Gujarat reach the finish line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Virat Kohli was at the centre of attention during IPL 2026 as he shared an intense exchange with Gujarat
