McClenaghan Hails Kohli’s Evolution, Says ‘scoring 9000 IPL Runs Against World’s Best Bowlers Is Not Easy'
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan has lauded Virat Kohli’s remarkable consistency while also highlighting the impact of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s emphatic nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in their recently concluded IPL 2026 match.

The chase was then completed with ease, underlining RCB’s all-round dominance.
Reflecting on Kohli’s sustained excellence in the tournament, McClenaghan emphasised the discipline and adaptability that have defined the veteran batter’s journey over the years.
