In the next over, Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the big wicket of Travis Head and the the passionate reaction of Virat Kohli showed what it meant to the RCB unit. He roared in his typical aggressive avatar and Anushka Sharma in the stands was also seen enjoying those wickets.
Anushka Sharma's presence also shows that the match is special for Virat Kohli. It is his first game after he announced retirement from Test cricket. He was denied a chance to play a game at Chinnaswamy as rain played spoilsport against KKR.
Virat Kohli has been in great form in IPL 2025 and has 505 runs in 11 matches. He has scored his runs at an average of 63.12, and would be hoping to continue his form in the business end of the tournament. Also, this is an important game for RCB as they aim to finish in top-2 on the points table. They have 17 points currently in 12 matches while SRH are already out of the playoffs race.
The Orange Army though won their last game comprehensively against LSG, and thus they would be looking to spoil RCB's part at the Ekana on Friday.
