Kohli taunts Rahul after RCB win

Although many expected a fiery celebration from Virat Kohli at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, in reaction to KL Rahul’s earlier antics at the Chinnaswamy, the former Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper stayed focused, hit another half-century, and took his team to the top of the table — but he did deliver a subtle response to Rahul’s viral move.

Kohli and Rahul Share Light Moment as RCB Clinch Top Spot

When Delhi beat RCB earlier this month in Bengaluru, Rahul, having scored an unbeaten 93, celebrated wildly on the pitch after the victory with a ‘This is my ground’ gesture. On Sunday, after RCB avenged the loss, Kohli walked up to Rahul after the end of the game and recreated the act as Rahul quickly pointed towards the ‘Virat Kohli Pavilion’ in the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The two Indian teammates then hugged each other and shared a laugh.

The moment also came as a sigh of relief for viewers, who saw the two in a heated conversation only a few moments back during the match.

RCB continued their impressive run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, securing their seventh win with a six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC). Six of those wins came away from home, the most any IPL team has managed in a single edition of the tournament. The win also propelled RCB to the top of the points table.
