The preparations for IPL 2026 are in full swing at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, and a viral clip from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) practice session has set the internet on fire. Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, known for his swing and pinpoint accuracy, delivered a “toe-crushing” yorker that completely outfoxed batting icon Virat Kohli, knocking over his stumps in style.

Bhuvneshwar, who played a pivotal role in RCB’s maiden title victory last season, seems to have regained his peak form. In the video, Kohli is seen going for a front-foot defense, but the pace and late dip of the yorker were too good even for the “King.” The ball sneaked past his bat and crashed into the timber, leaving the spectators and fellow teammates stunned.

With the 2026 season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad just around the corner, Bhuvi’s lethal form is a massive boost for the defending champions. Especially in the absence of Josh Hazlewood for the initial games, the “Swing King” is expected to lead the attack. This masterclass in the nets is a clear warning to opposing batters—Bhuvneshwar Kumar is ready to wreak havoc once again!
