It happened during the 12th over of GT's chase.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Andy Flower shared an update on Virat Kohli’s finger injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT). The injury happened when Virat Kohli tried to stop a boundary on the fifth ball of the 12th over during GT’s chase.
Fielding at deep mid-wicket, he attempted to stop a shot from Sai Sudharsan, but the ball slipped through his hands and went to the boundary. Kohli looked in discomfort and was quickly attended to by the team’s physio. However, after receiving treatment, he continued to field.
At the post-match press conference, RCB head coach Andy Flower reassured everyone that Kohli is fine. He said there is nothing to worry about, as Kohli is doing okay despite the injury scare.
“Virat looks fine, he’s okay,” said Flower in the post-match press conference.
