Virat Kohli displayed his speed and sheer physical prowess during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at Mullanpur in IPL 2025 on Sunday.
In a rare occurrence, Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal ran four runs in the third over of their 158-run chase. Padikkal played a length delivery by Arshdeep Singh towards deep mid-wicket and dashed for four runs alongside Kohli.

The fielder in the deep had a lot of ground to cover and as the PBKS player stepped on the ball to prevent the boundary, it allowed the RCB batters time to comfortably collect the runs even if the boundary count wasn't ticked.
As per the broadcasters, Kohli ran at speeds of 29kmph, 22kmph, 21kmph and turned at 4kmph in what is a breathtaking display of athleticism by a 36-year-old.
In the first innings, RCB spinners Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma bowled stifling spells to restrict PBKS to an under-par 157 for six.
The left-arm spinner Krunal (2/25) and leg-spinner Suyash (2/27) were at their crafty best after RCB opted to field on a pitch that had a hint of slowness.
In fact, the Punjab side made a good start to their innings with Priyansh Arya (22) and Prabhsimran Singh (33) adding 42 runs in 4.2 overs.
Shashank Singh (31 not out), who was dropped on 27 at short third by Dayal off Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Marco Jansen (25 not out) added 43 runs for the seventh wicket as PBKS sneaked past the 150-run mark.
Jansen finished the innings with a six off Josh Hazlewood as PBKS could only make 38 runs off the last five overs.
