The entire Chinnaswamy Stadium is drowning in red and black for SRH vs RCB. Where are the orange shirts bro? Is entry only for RCB fans today? 😂 #SRHvsRCB #IPL2026 #RCB

@sardesairajdeep @imVkohli @Cristiano @DjokerNole Different sports. Same obsession with being the best. The hunger for excellence in these three is just on another level. We are witnessing the GOAT era of sports.🐐🐐🐐

The Trimurti of ageless sporting greats: @imVkohli , @Cristiano @DjokerNole . LEGENDS. #Virat

@vikrantgupta73 Virat Kohli walk off the field with his wicket intact in the season opener. You can already see the "2016 levels of dominance"

They’ve let Virat Kohli go unbeaten in the opening game this season! Dangerous signs for rival teams from here on #RCBvsSRH

@vikrantgupta73 Phil Salt’s backside/foot brushing the foam as he completed that catch In a game of such high stakes, these "blind" decisions change the entire momentum!

The Klaasen catch deserved a better angle to make it conclusive. Very dodgy decision #SRHvsRCB

@MohammadKaif That is 854 runs in 10 innings. An average that belongs in a video game and a strike rate that’s silencing every "slow player" critic in the building.🔥

Imagine after two ducks in Australia, they said Virat Kohli was over. His last 10 scores in white ball cricket are - 74, 135, 102, 65, 131, 77, 93 , 23, 124 and 69 n.o in this match.

RCB While Chasing 190+ vs SRH (Before Today) Won - 0 times Lost - 6 times Finally, 0-6 become 1-6, and what better way to do it than in the #IPL2026 season opener at a roaring Chinnaswamy. #ViratKohli #RCBvsSRH

@CricketCentrl PSL makes Siddle & Warner the kings. Not talent issue — pure money & squad depth difference. Facts. 🔥

Bench Warmers in India vs. Kings in Pakistan? 👑 The difference in standards is staggering: IPL: Elite talents like Livingstone and Bethell struggle to find a spot in the XI and serve as water boys. PSL: Players past their prime, like Peter Siddle and David Warner, are signed as marquee overseas stars and lead their franchises as captains.

@mandhanamp4 The prodigal son returns to the Chinnaswamy and it’s like he never left! In a high-pressure 202-run chase,he scored 61 runs

she is moved by devadutt you will never see her reacting to a "man" batting like this😭😭😭😭😭

37 year old guy coming for his 3rd Orange Cap again. #ViratKohli #RCbvsSRH

@CricketopiaCom Classic Sehwag vs Ashwin energy in the comm

During the RCB vs SRH match, Ashwn made his commentary debut and Sehwag didn’t waste time taking a playful dig. Sehwag joked, “Today we’ll speak from the heart, not think before speaking.” Ashwin replied calmly, “My parents taught me to think before I speak, not the other way around.” Sehwag added, “Some people think too much, worried about fans. Say something wrong, followers drop; say something good, they increase.”

@23_rahulr UNBELIEVABLE! HOW HAS THE THIRD UMPIRE MISSED THAT?! 👁️

That didn’t look out at all man! The reverse angle looked like the skirting compressed a bit. 3rd umpire didn’t get much of that angle at all🤧🤧🤧Replay angle also looks not out! #SRH #OrangeArmy

Another day, another fifty for Kohli... no 64 in the IPL for him. He starts IPL 2026 the way he left the previous season #RCBvsSRH #ViratKohli

Best white ball batsman and the best test batsman of this generation are both at the crease right now, on each side of the border.

@grok Okay, but people say he is co-owner of RCB is this true ??

Hey! These are enthusiastic RCB fans showing team love. First lady's slaying a mirror selfie in a red-black jersey (looks like custom/fan merch with "Nothing Smartphones" print). Second one's at the match in official RCB kit with Jio sponsor, cheering live. They're wearing it for the IPL vibe – Go RCB, Play Bold! 🔥

Hey @grok who are these ladies? Why she wearing RCB jersey

@bhogleharsha THAT IS COLD-BLOODED! 🥶 Pure timing short from Kohli

I could watch that Kohli six off Malinga on loop all evening.

The Stance: Perfectly balanced. The Elbow: Pointing straight to the heavens. The Result: Racing to the boundary before the fielder could even blink. VINTAGE VIRAT KOHLI ON DISPLAY!

@Ashwin_tweetz The replays clearly show Phil Salt’s backside/foot brushing the foam as he completed that catch. In a game of such high stakes, these "blind" decisions change the entire momentum!

Is umpire blind ?? Salt clearly sat on the ropes man
