In the crucial IPL 2026 match vs RCB and Delhi Capitals, the defending champions and the home side, RCB, are not wearing their traditional red and gold jersey, as they have ditched it for a green kit. They are wearing green to support their 'Go Green' initiative, which supports their long-running sustainability drive to support the environment.

The riveting RCB vs DC game started with the hosts being put into bat, and an initial fireworks from their star opener, Virat Kohli. The elegant batter started off with a couple of gorgeous shots, but just when he was looking in sublime rhythm, Lungi Ngidi knocked him for 19.

Interestingly, Kohli has always delivered the goods when wearing the Red and Gold RCB jersey, but his performances have fluctuated when the franchise wears the Green kit. Here is how the legendary batter has performed for his side in the Green kit.

Kohli's highlight for RCB in Green jersey

The former RCB captain has five fifties in the Green jersey, but his best knock came against the Gujarat Lions in 2016. During that IPL campaign, Kohli was at the peak of his powers as he smacked 973 runs, with four centuries.

However, the highlight of the campaign was his partnership alongside AB De Villiers, which destroyed the Gujarat attack. He unleashed mayhem, scoring a breathtaking 109 off 55 balls, with a strike rate of 198.

Courtesy of his knock, RCB defeated the Lions by 144 runs- their biggest win in a green jersey match.

Kohli's struggles in Green jersey since 2021

From 2013-19, Kohli performed well in RCB’s Green jersey, but the numbers fluctuated since the 2020 season, before the stats improved in 2025.

In the four years between 2021 and 2024, Kohli struggled for runs in the Green Kit, and the table tells the reality.

5, 0, 0, and 18, these were Kohli’s scores in the Green kit between the time period, as he failed to deliver the goods against KKR, SRH, RR, and KKR.

The numbers improved last season, when he scored a match-winning fifty against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
