Virat Kohli, the former captain of RCB, is renowned for his exuberant celebrations and lively mimics on the field, which often captivate fans and spectators. In the recent RCB vs DC match of IPL 2023, Kohli’s fervor was evident once again after he notched up his third fifty of the tournament, resulting in a boisterous celebration that drew attention. Kohli accomplished his half-century in just 33 balls on Saturday, contributing to RCB’s significant overall score. The 34-year-old athlete displayed his aggressive side while celebrating, visibly energised by the enthusiastic cheers of fans at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In addition, Kohli’s lively celebration has sparked a frenzy on social media, where fans have created a multitude of memes.
Recently, Kohli’s celebrations for significant achievements have been relatively subdued. However, on Saturday, viewers had the opportunity to witness a throwback to the ‘Vintage’ Kohli, as he placed his fists to his chest and pointed his bat toward the stands, where his wife Anushka Sharma was overjoyed by his remarkable performance. While fans have taken to Twitter to shower King Kohli with admiration for his lively celebration, some are now pondering what kind of celebration he might have in store if RCB were to win their first trophy. The possibilities seem unimaginable! Nevertheless, Twitter users have been having a blast with a slew of jokes and compliments.
Meanwhile, Kohli played a commendable knock, hitting 6 fours and a six, after Faf du Plessis was dismissed early in the innings. However, he was unable to convert his fifty into a hundred and was caught near the boundary rope by young Yash Dhull off a juicy full toss from Lalit Yadav. This was Kohli’s third fifty of the IPL 2023 season, having previously scored the fifties against Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). With this innings, Kohli has also surpassed 2500 runs at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, making him the second-highest run-scorer of the season.
In the match, RCB emerged victorious against the David Warner-led team by a margin of 23 runs.
