SRH vs RCB, IPL 2026: Immediately after SRH beat RCB and Virat Kohli refused to shake hands with Travis Head, the Australian southpaw took to Instagram and posted a cryptic story. While it cannot be confirmed if the Instagram story was directed towards Kohli, it has certainly left the fans guessing.

Head captioned an Instagram story on his account: "Keep the body guessing", a comment that many felt was a reply to Kohli's no-handshake after the game.

For the unversed, Head bowled an over and picked up a wicket as well. He dismissed RCB captain Rajat Patidar.

It could be a subtle dig at Kohli, who had asked him to roll his arms over while he was batting. Shortly after the banter, Kohli perished for a 11-ball 15 and while the former RCB captain was walking back, Head taunted him. Head said: “Mate, you got out before I even came on to bowl."

Kohli got aggressive and now it will be interesting to see how does the BCCI react - will they spare him or will they punish him?

Meanwhile, RCB finish the IPL 2026 league stage on top despite the loss. Under Rajat Patidar, they have 9 wins in 14 games for 18 points.

GT and SRH also end on 18 points, but NRR puts GT second and SRH third. RR hold fourth with 14 points and a game left, giving them a strong shot at playoffs. PBKS are fifth on 13 points, KKR sixth also on 13, and DC eighth with 12. All four have one match remaining.

It id clear that RCB will now get a couple of shots at making the final which puts them in a favourable position. While three teams have qualified, one spot is still up for grabs.
