Virat Kohli completely ignores Travis Head (Screengrab) NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli grabbed attention after Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL 2026 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, not just for the match but also for a tense moment with Travis Head. During RCB’s chase of a mammoth 256-run target, the two exchanged words on the field. Kohli responded to the remark from Head by saying, “Okay, come down and take some deliveries.” After Kohli got out soon after, Head replied, “Mate, you got out before I even came to bowl,” which upset the RCB star even more.The drama continued after the match with the usual handshake line. Head tried to shake Kohli’s hand but the former RCB skipper walked past him without responding. Kohli shook hands with other SRH players, including captain Pat Cummins, making the moment even more striking.Watch:Despite losing by 55 runs, RCB still finished on top of the IPL league table as they crossed the all-important mark of 166 runs during the chase.
