Virat Kohli was at his fiery best for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 16 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, smashing an unbeaten half-century during their win vs Rajasthan Royals (RR), at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. RCB have been in excellent form this year, and haven’t lost a match yet. The win against RR is their fourth on the trot. Reaching his first fifty of the season in the second delivery of the 13th over, Kohli first raised his bat towards his teammates in the dugout, then he pointed towards the stands and dedicated the knock to his daughter by doing a cradle celebration.
Here is the video of Kohli’s celebration:
