Rajat Patidar and co. clinched a convincing 7-wicket win against the defending champions at the Eden Gardens on Saturday, with the batting maestro staying unbeaten at the end of the run-chase on 59. While the sight of Kohli pumping his first half-century 9 months after his international retirement was a sight for sore eyes, it was this fan’s actions that delighted the crowd in Kolkata.

Virat’s knock on Saturday showed that he had lost no love for the shortest format of the game. The RCB star looked in the zone and very much at a comfortable position in a situation he loves the most – a run-chase. His 59-run knock was studded with 4 fours and 3 sixes, striking at 163.89.
He set the tone for RCB’s run-chase with a 95-run partnership with Phil Salt. He then allowed skipper Rajat Patidar to fire at will while anchoring the innings from the other end. Eventually, RCB wrapped up the run-chase with 3.4 overs to spare, starting their IPL 2025 campaign on a dominating note.
