Exactly one month after their last victory, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) camp erupted in jubilation following a dominant performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. With a resounding win by 35 runs, RCB secured their second triumph in IPL 2024, bringing relief and joy to their fans.
Leading from the front, RCB’s batting stalwart, Virat Kohli, was keen on spreading happiness among the supporters. In a heartwarming incident captured in a viral social media clip, Kohli and teammate Mohammed Siraj were seen engaging with fans after the match.
As Siraj made his way towards the dressing room, a fan urged him to call out Kohli, chanting “Kohli ko bulao bhaiya” (Sir, please call Kohli out), with fervent repetition. Responding to the fan’s plea, Siraj assured, “Haan ruko bulata hoon” (Yes, wait, I’ll call him).
Subsequently, Kohli emerged, much to the delight of the fans, who dazzled with excitement. The spontaneous interaction epitomized the camaraderie between the players and their loyal supporters.
The victory against SRH marked a turning point for RCB in the tournament. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, captain Faf du Plessis set the tone for a memorable performance, setting the stage for RCB’s well-deserved win.
