Virat Kohli’s attempts to address the crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru were humorously rejected by the ardent fans who were constantly screaming ‘RCB’ and ‘Kohli’ during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s felicitation on Wednesday, June 4.
By the time the event’s anchor finished his introduction statement, the crowd, already anticipating Kohli’s turn to speak, began roaring. Kohli and the anchor attempted to defuse the situation so that the former could begin his statement. However, all efforts to dissuade the passionate followers proved futile.
The anchor had to switch to Kannada to try to control the scene. He was successful after a point, and Kohli thanked the supporters for their continuous support throughout the years. Kohli attributed the title victory to the fans as well as the team players and management.

Speaking of RCB’s triumph in Ahmedabad, they emerged victorious by six runs against Punjab Kings on Tuesday, June 3. They were sent in to bat first by the Shreyas Iyer-led outfit and ended up posting 190/9 in their 20 overs. Kohli (43 off 35) top-scored for RCB. There were four batters whose cameos were crucial too.
Coming to the run-chase, Shashank Singh (61* off 30) batted with belligerence lower down the middle-order. However, the top-order batter did not contribute enough. Apart from Josh Inglis (39 off 23), no other batter actually fired. Iyer was dismissed cheaply on one off two. Krunal Pandya (2/17 in four overs) was adjudged the Player of the Match (POTM).
