The Challengers’ captain Kohli is yet to feature for the franchise in the IPL due to his injury, went at a full throttle in a training session conducted by the Royal Challenger Bangalore in the supervision of the RCB Team Physio Evan Speechly.

Further, the 28-year-old made some sharp attempts in the field with the dives coming out more often. He also went on and flung himself to catch the ball, pulling off a few incredible athletic catches.
