Royal Challengers Bangalore, who made a great start in IPL 2025, finally got the first setback. Bengaluru suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans at his home ground M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This is the first defeat in 3 matches in this season of Bengaluru. This defeat has given a shock to Bangalore, but during this match, the star batsman Virat Kohli was also hurt. This has raised the question whether he will be able to play in the next match against Mumbai Indians?

Bangalore and Gujarat collided on Wednesday 3 April. In this match, Bengaluru batted first but the team could not score a big score. In this, the failure of star batsman Virat Kohli also became a reason, who returned to the pavilion after getting out in the second over. After this, when the turn of fielding came, Virat Kohli's evening was not good here too. He did not get any catch but once the ball went to him, he caused double damage.

Injury during fielding

The matter is about the 12th over, when Krunal Pandya was bowling. Sai Sudarshan was on strike for Gujarat. Sudarshan played a sweep shot on the fifth ball of this over. But Virat Kohli, who was on deep midwicket, could not stop the ball. His finger was hurt and he screamed in pain. Immediately the medical team reached for his investigation. Also, the ball had gone for 4 runs across the boundary. However, after applying anti-pain spray for some time, he again landed on the field and continued to field till the match was over.

Will Kohli be able to play next match?

But everyone wants to know how serious Kohli's injury is. Now Bangalore head coach Andy Flower has given big news about this. After the team's defeat, Flower told that Virat Kohli's injury is not serious and he will be fully fit for the next match. Obviously, amidst the frustration of defeat, this news must have brought relief for Bengaluru and its fans as RCB's next match is from Mumbai Indians on 7 April.
