The <\/span>Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/span> reclaimed the highest spot within the IPL 2026 standings with a commanding <\/span>6-wicket victory<\/span> over the <\/span>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/span> on Wednesday, May 13. <\/span><\/p>\n Playing on the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur, RCB chased down a difficult goal of 193 with five balls to spare, fueled by a masterclass from <\/span>Virat Kohli<\/span>, who silenced critics after a transient lean patch.<\/span><\/p>\n After winning the toss and electing to field, RCB\u2019s bowling attack, led by <\/span>Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1\/34)<\/span>and <\/span>Josh Hazlewood (1\/35)<\/span>, struck early to remove the KKR openers. Nonetheless, young sensation <\/span>Angkrish Raghuvanshi<\/span> anchored the KKR innings with a cultured <\/span>71 off 46 balls<\/span>, hitting seven boundaries and three sixes. <\/span><\/p>\n He shared vital partnerships with <\/span>Cameron Green (32 off 24)<\/span> and <\/span>Rinku Singh<\/span>, who provided a late-inning flourish with an unbeaten <\/span>49 off 29 balls<\/span>. Despite the regular pressure from RCB\u2019s death bowlers, KKR finished with a competitive total of <\/span>192\/4<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n RCB beat KKR by 6 wickets.<\/p>\n Kolkata Knight Riders set a goal of 193. \u2013 RCB became table toppers again.#RCBvsKKR<\/a> #ViratKholi<\/a> #IPL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ixdmAYkrq4<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ayan (@CricXAyan) May 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\udea8 VIRAT KOHLI DOES IT AGAIN VS KKR \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n \u2013 POTM performance from the chase master \ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n Now holds the joint MOST Player of the Match awards by an Indian in IPL history \ud83d\udc51\ud83c\udfcf<\/p>\n Absolute consistency, pure dominance \ud83d\udd25#ViratKohli<\/a> #RCB<\/a> #IPL<\/a> #POTM<\/a> #GOAT<\/a> #ChaseMaster<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/fv3yJhKtl3<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Akaran.A (@Akaran_1) May 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The best way the teen got here to Virat Kohli and asked for an autograph after RCB vs KKR, and Virat signed the ball for him .<\/p>\n That is how Virat Kohli shows respect to children.\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/6MJErxYm9R<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ` (@Atomickolly17) May 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u2013 rcb off to great start chasing 193 \u2014 S H I V A N S H (@MehentiLadka) May 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\udd34 ANKRISH RAGHUVANSHI REGISTERED HIGHEST SCORE OF HIS CARRIER \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n \u2013 62*(38) Vs RCB 2026 Raghuvanshi What a batter for KKR in IPL \ud83d\udc4f pic.twitter.com\/zKCeya1Rsr<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sam (@Cricsam01) May 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\udc10<\/p>\n That is it, that is the caption. \ud83d\ude4c\u2764\ufe0f#RCBvsKKR<\/a> | #ViratKohli<\/a>, #RunMachine<\/a>, #ChaseMaster<\/a>, #Narine<\/a>, #RinkuSingh<\/a>, #ManishPandey<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1O50aA57hF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) May 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\udea8 POINTS TABLE OF IPL 2026 \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n \u2013 RCB tops the points table with 16 points in 12 matches. \u2014 Maina Singh (@Maina_Singhx77) May 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n RCB\u2019s chase began with intent, although <\/span>Jacob Bethell (15)<\/span> fell early to <\/span>Kartik Tyagi<\/span>, who was the pick of the KKR bowlers with <\/span>3\/32<\/span>.
