It was supposed to be a roaring welcome at home for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but things went off the rails early. RCB were invited to bat first in Match 14 of IPL 2025 and fans got an unwelcome shock when Virat Kohli was dismissed for just 7 runs off 6 balls.

Fans Furious As Kohli Fails To Fire In RCB's Home Opener

It was supposed to be Virat Kohli’s night as the King’s returned to his fortress. But Gujarat Titans had other plans. Just six balls into his knock, Kohli mistimed a shot straight to Prasidh Krishna at deep fine leg off Arshad Khan and was dismissed for just 7 off 6 balls.

The disappointment on Kohli’s face was evident and the silence that followed in the Chinnaswamy was louder than any cheer that had come before.

It didn’t take long for fans to hit social media to voice their frustration. Many expected Kohli to come all guns blazing in RCB’s first home match of the season, especially after a decent start to the tournament. However, it wasn’t mean to be.

Memes flooded the internet too with many poking fun at Virat Kohli’s tendency to struggle early in the season and against new bowlers despite being one of the IPL’s greatest ever.
