During the IPL 2025 season, a heated exchange between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul captured the attention of fans during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s match against Delhi Capitals. The confrontation, which was caught on video and went viral on social media, occurred while Kohli was batting and Rahul was keeping wickets. Former India spinner Piyush Chawla later revealed that Kohli was upset with DC taking too long to set up the field, leading to a disagreement with Rahul. The wicketkeeper expressed concerns about potential slow over-rate penalties if they spent too much time on field placements.
Despite the on-field tension, the night belonged to Krunal Pandya, who played a crucial role in RCB’s six-wicket victory. He smashed an unbeaten 73 off 47 balls, forming a game-changing partnership with Kohli. The duo’s 119-run stand helped RCB chase down a modest target of 163 after a shaky start. Tim David’s quickfire innings then sealed the win for RCB.
On the bowling front, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and RCB’s spinners restricted Delhi Capitals to 162/8, setting the stage for their victory. With this win, RCB climbed to the top of the points table, while DC remains in contention for the playoffs despite the loss.
