Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli definitely knows how to answer his critics in style. Throughout his career, Kohli has mastered the art of shutting his critics with his powerful performances. On Saturday, as Royal Challengers Bangalore locked horns with Delhi Capitals, it was yet another occasion for Virat, who produced a stellar knock.
Virat Kohli Broke Into An Aggressive Celebration
Kohli continued with his red-hot form in the 2023 Indian Premier League season with another half-century at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. However, it was his reaction after reaching the milestone that caught the attention of cricket fans. It was a nostalgic moment for the fans as they remembered his younger days with a passionate celebration.
Amidst the ongoing strike rate debate, Kohli played a solid knock and broke into an aggressive celebration.
Coming out to bat against DC, Kohli completed his fifty in just 33 balls, lacing six boundaries and a solitary six in his knock of a strike rate around 150. On reaching the milestone, Kohli broke into an aggressive celebration where he was seen hurling a mouthful after beating his chest.
The video of his aggressive celebration has gone crazily viral on the internet. Watch the video:
