RCB Star Virat Kohli Imitates KL Rahul
After the match, a fun moment between Kohli and KL Rahul caught everyone's attention. In a video going viral online, Kohli is seen teasing Rahul by copying his famous 'This is my ground' celebration.
For those who don't know, after DC defeated RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 10, Rahul had celebrated with that same gesture. That day, Rahul had played a brilliant knock of 93 runs from 53 balls and led his team to a big win, making the ‘This is my ground’ celebration very popular on social media.
But this time, tables turned. Kohli had the last laugh as RCB won in Delhi, and he playfully reminded Rahul about it!

RCB Jumps to No. 1 in Points Table
Thanks to their win over Delhi Capitals, RCB now sits at the top of the IPL 2025 points table. They have collected 14 points from 10 matches. If they win just one of their remaining four matches, they will officially book a spot in the playoffs for the second year in a row.
