Fans Roast Virat Kohli After Flop Show In RCB vs GT IPL Match

The stage was set for a triumphant return to home ground for Virat Kohli and RCB. However, the narrative took a sharp turn early in the innings. Facing Gujarat Titans' bowler Arshad Khan just six balls into his knock, Kohli attempted a shot that didn't come off as planned. The ball flew towards deep fine leg where Prasidh Krishna completed the catch, sending Kohli back to the pavilion with only 7 runs to his name.

The dismissal led to a stunned silence at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, a stark contrast to the earlier cheers. Online platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), erupted with reactions. Fans voiced their disappointment, with many having expected a signature aggressive innings from Kohli. Memes circulated, referencing Kohli's occasional struggles against newer bowlers early in tournaments, despite his legendary status in the IPL. Comments ranged from disappointment to humorous jabs about the short duration of his innings.

Following Kohli's departure, RCB faced further trouble as Devdutt Padikkal was bowled by Mohammed Siraj in the subsequent over, leaving RCB struggling at 22/2 after 3.4 overs.

It was a tough start for Kohli and RCB in their home opener. Do you think this dismissal will affect Kohli's form for the rest of the season? Let us know your thoughts!
