Virat Kohli was seen in a jolly mood as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) beat Punjab Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday (March 25).
The 35-year-old celebrated by dancing to keep the crowd entertained as the franchise registered their first win of the season. It was RCB’s first win of this season.
In a video doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), Kohli was seen dancing his heart out while communicating during the award presentation ceremony.
Watch the video below:
With the bat, Kohli slammed 77 runs off just 49 balls at a strike rate of 157.14, including two sixes and 11 boundaries. The right-handed batter continued to score as wickets kept tumbling on the other end. He was eventually dismissed by Harshal Patel in the 16th over.
During his knock, Kohli became only the third batter to reach 100 half-centuries in T20s. He is now only behind David Warner (109) and Chris Gayle (110) for most half-centuries in the format. He will next be in action as RCB will host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next IPL fixture on March 29.
