Virat Kohli again felt his presence with his immense, electrifying celebrations in Mullanpur against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru shattered PBKS's batting unit like it was a castle of glass.

RCB bowlers have been flying in Punjab Kings' ground, and Virat Kohli, with his natural characteristics, expressed how deeply he is engaged with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The opening pair of Priyansh Arya (7) and Prabhsimran Singh (18) is considered one of the main strengths of PBKS' batting unit.

Bengaluru first struck there with the help of Yash Dayal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Kumar picked up Singh's wicket and Dayal Arya's. When Bhuvneshwar clinched Prabhsimran, Virat Kohli unleashed his energy for a vigorous celebration out of expectations.

RCB's consistent form outside Bengaluru continues

The same vibe was captured when Shreyas Iyer, skipper of Punjab Kings, lost his wicket cheaply for 2 runs in 3 wickets. He misread Josh Hazlewood's delivery, resulting in a thick edge. Jitesh Sharma, with the gloves in hand, made no mistake behind the stumps. Iyer's scalp was huge for Bengaluru, and Virat knew it very well. That's why when the Aussie pacer cleared the opponent team leader's timber, Kohli jumped in joy.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru has been in constant form, especially during away fixtures. In the group stage, RCB won 7 out of 7 away games they played. Tonight in Mullanpur, another away ground for RCB turned out to be a hunting ground for the bowlers in red and black outfits.
