    IPL 2026: 'Didn't Have Guts To Talk To Him In First Meeting' - RCB's Ostwal On The Kohli Effect

    By IANS News April 04, 2026 • 09:24 AM View: 200
    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Vicky Ostwal had a dream of sharing the dressing room with Virat Kohli. But when it actually happened during the practice sessions of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of IPL 2026, the left-arm spin bowling all-rounder froze.

    Neither on the pitch, nor with the ball in his hand. But in the dressing room - where the man he had watched and admired for his talismanic skills was suddenly just a few feet away from him. Ostwal, 23, is in his debut season with RCB after having spent three years with Delhi Capitals.

    He had heard all about RCB - the robust culture, good people in the set-up, and fans shouting ‘Aar-cee-bee’ in chorus at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the first game (and soon against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday night). Ostwal was ready for most of it, but was not quite ready for his meeting with Kohli.
