The pink-ball Test match between India and Sri Lanka is being played in Bengaluru. Fans and cricket fans present on the field on Saturday were expecting big innings from Kohli, but he could not do anything special. Kohli was dismissed lbw off a low delivery from spin bowler Dhananjaya de Silva. Kohli contributed 23 off 48 balls with the help of two fours.
On the first day of the same match, the enthusiasm of the fans was worth watching. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is also the home ground of IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In such a situation, the fans present in the stadium were shouting RCB-RCB due to the Sri Lankan innings. Kohli made the hearts of the fans happy by winning them. Virat also showed off his red T-shirt.
The former India captain has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore since the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008 and has been associated with the franchise for 14 years. He is the only player to have played for only one team since the first edition of the league in 2008. On Saturday, RCB appointed Faf du Plessis as the new captain of the franchise. The post of captain was lying vacant after Virat Kohli stepped down after the 2021 season. Faf du Plessis was bought by RCB for Rs 7 crore in Rs 7 crore in the 2022 IPL mega auction. Kohli led the franchise for eight years from 2013 to 2021.
