Delhi: Virat Kohli, the great batsman of the Indian cricket team, is ready to return to the field for the first time after retiring from Test cricket. He will once again be seen in Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) jersey, when on Saturday evening, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will take on his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a thrilling match of 2025. The match will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. However, the weather remains a matter of concern before this much awaited match, as the possibility of rain has been expressed in the evening.
There is tremendous enthusiasm among fans about Kohli’s return. On Thursday, he practiced fiercely in the nets, but an interesting incident also came to light during the practice session. According to Cricbuzz report, Kohli was about to start batting that RCB’s team started ringing in a loud voice in the stadium. Troubled by this noise, Virat asked to stop the music so that he could focus on his batting. Kohli’s demand was immediately accepted and the speakers were closed. After this, he put some best straight drives and strong bridge shots in the nets.
This match for RCB, while the top-2 will have a chance to strengthen the claim in the playoffs, the match for KKR is like a ‘do or die’ situation. If the rain disruptions, KKR’s playoff hopes may get a big shock.
AB de Villiers made a big statement about Kohli
Former South African batsman and veteran RCB player AB de Villiers said that if RCB reaches the final, he will definitely come to India. De Villiers said in Instagram Live, “Remembering me, if RCB reaches the final, I will definitely be with the team in the stadium. I will not get more happiness in something than lifting the trophy with Virat Kohli. I have dreamed this for many years.”
