Virat Kohli played an incredible no-look six off Matt Henry during the IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, April 5, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The stunning shot came in the fourth over of RCB’s innings. Henry bowled a length delivery outside off. Virat Kohli stepped forward and smashed it over mid-wicket straight into the stands.
What made it special was that he didn’t even look at the ball after hitting it—he just turned away casually. In the stands, Anushka Sharma was seen smiling and clapping, while the Bengaluru crowd erupted in cheers after witnessing the brilliant six.
