Virat Kohli’s 100th Catch for RCB: The Milestone No One Saw Coming
You know how we all talk about Kohli's centuries, his intense celebrations, or those fiery stares at the opposition? But in the middle of all that noise, something huge just happened and barely anyone talked about it.
In the recent match against Lucknow Super Giants, Virat Kohli took his 100th T20 catch for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Not just his 100th catch overall—but for one franchise. That’s a record no other Indian cricketer has ever pulled off.
The Catch That Spoke Volumes
It wasn't some flying one-handed screamer. It was a simple, well-judged take near the boundary. But honestly, that catch said more about Kohli than any six he's hit this season.
Because here's the thing—you don't take 100 catches for the same team by accident. You do it by showing up, season after season. Through the heartbreaks, the memes, the trophy-less years. You stay fit, stay alert, and stay hungry.
And that’s exactly what Kohli’s done since 2008.
More Than Just a Stat
Most people look at batting averages. But fielding? It's the glue. It's what wins you tight games. And Kohli’s fielding has always been electric—remember that 2016 catch against Punjab near the ropes? That was vintage Kohli: committed, quick, fearless.
Fielding doesn’t grab headlines, but it builds moments. And Kohli? He’s built a hundred of them for RCB.
Why It Matters
Let’s break it down:
- First Indian to take 100 T20 catches for one team
- Still one of the fittest guys on the field at 36
- A symbol of loyalty in a format that changes players like socks
