In a recent post-match press conference, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Andy Flower provided a reassuring update on Virat Kohli’s fitness following an injury scare during the IPL 2025 clash against Gujarat Titans. Kohli, who hurt his finger while fielding at deep mid-wicket, momentarily left fans concerned about his availability for upcoming matches. However, Flower confirmed that the star batter is in good health, stating, “Virat looks fine, there’s no worry.”
The incident occurred during the 12th over of Gujarat Titans’ chase when Sai Sudharsan’s powerful sweep shot off Krunal Pandya resulted in Kohli’s misfielding attempt. Despite the discomfort, Kohli continued to play after receiving treatment from the team’s physio, showcasing his resilience and commitment to the game.
RCB faced a challenging match, losing to Gujarat Titans by eight wickets. Kohli’s early dismissal for just seven runs added to the team’s struggles, as they managed to set a target of 169 runs, which the Titans chased down with ease. Despite the defeat, Flower praised the efforts of his players and expressed confidence in their ability to bounce back in the upcoming fixtures.
RCB’s next match is scheduled against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on April 7, where fans will be eager to see Kohli back in action and leading his team to victory.
