A video shared by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on social media has left fans in splits. The video captures a fun bowling session involving RCB players Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj. In the video, the players are given a target to hit while bowling. While the other players attempted to hit the target through traditional means, Kohli took a different approach. He was seen running with the ball in hand and managed to hit the target by getting close to it, much to the amusement of his teammates.
RCB shared the video on their social media platforms, accompanied by the caption “Petition for Virat to bowl in the next game.” The lighthearted moment provided a refreshing break for fans, who enjoyed seeing the lighter side of the players.
In their IPL 2023 fixture against the Rajasthan Royals, RCB secured a commanding 112-run victory. Opting to bat first, RCB posted a total of 171 for 5 in 20 overs, thanks to impressive half-centuries from Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. Du Plessis scored 55 runs off 44 balls, while Maxwell contributed 54 runs off 33 balls. However, Kohli had a less successful outing, managing to score only 18 runs off 19 balls.
During the match, RR struggled and was eventually bundled out for a mere 59 runs. Wayne Parnell played a significant role in RCB’s victory, breaking the backbone of RR’s batting lineup with his three-wicket haul. Parnell finished with figures of 3 for 10 in 3 overs.
Apart from the on-field action, a post-match moment garnered attention as RCB star Virat Kohli interacted with RR batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was dismissed for a duck in the match. The interaction highlighted the sportsmanship and camaraderie between players, even after a competitive match.
Overall, RCB’s victory and the light-hearted bowling session provided an entertaining experience for fans, showcasing the fun side of the players amidst the intense competition of the IPL.
