The cricket pitch saw Virat Kohli, RCB’s old captain, energized. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Shahrukh Khan, Gujarat Titans’ batter. At Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Virat Kohli celebrated aggressively as Khan departed. The 35-year-old cricketer was fired up, bidding farewell to the right-handed batsman with intensity.
The event occurred in the 15th over of the innings, when Siraj provided a long-awaited breakthrough for the Royal Challengers with a full reverse-swinging delivery that broke the stumps.
Siraj was thrilled, and the cameras turned to Kohli, who gave Shahrukh a stern send-off while fielding on the boundary.

The wicket also brought an end to Shahrukh and B Sai Sudharsan’s 86-run partnership, which was formed after Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha were dismissed for cheap. Siraj was also the visiting team’s best bowler, finishing with 4-0-34-1.
Virat Kohli Surpasses 500 Runs as RCB Dominates Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024
RCB bagged another victory, defeating Gujarat Titans. Facing 201 runs, Faf du Plessis kickstarted RCB’s chase brilliantly. Initially, Virat Kohli and Will Jacks found timing difficult. However, they regained control midway through.
The former RCB captain achieved his half-century in 31 deliveries, reaching 500 runs in the 16th over of the innings. However, Jacks’ innings was the match’s highlight, as he hauled Mohit Sharma for 29 runs in the 15th over, including three sixes and a handful of boundaries.
After Virat Kohlii played the opening ball and gave over the strike, he moved two steps ahead in the next over against Rashid Khan. The spin-bowling all-rounder went on to hit two fours and four sixes, the last of which resulted in a century off only 41 deliveries.
