On Saturday night, after Delhi Capitals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets, Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batter Virat Kohli clasped hands, putting to rest rumors that there was a split between them.
At the conclusion of their last matchup, which took place earlier in the tournament in Bangalore, it seems from many videos that the two competitors did not shake hands. There have been several stories that point to the fact that the two have stopped following each other on Instagram.
When Kohli stood aside from his role as captain of the team a year ago, Ganguly was still serving as president of the BCCI at the time. It is speculated that this was the beginning of the tension between the two men.
While everything was going on, the batting coach for the Delhi Capitals, Shane Watson, commented that there was undeniably fire in Virat Kohli’s belly on the day that RCB played his side. However, Watson was unsure as to whether or not the cause for this was Kohli’s friction with Sourav Ganguly.
When asked by the presenter of the podcast The Grade Cricketer about the internet being ablaze over Virat and Sourav having a bit of a stare off and brushing each other in the after game handshakes, Watson smiled and said, “rumor mongering, but I’m not sure.” This response came after Watson was asked about the internet being ablaze over the incident.
He concluded that regardless of the motivation, it was unfavorable information for the adversary. He stated, “There was definitely some fire in Virat’s belly the other night, and from an opposition point of view, that’s the last thing you need as well.” “There was definitely some fire in Virat’s belly the other night.”
On Saturday night, Phil Salt put on an incredible exhibition of ball striking, which helped the Delhi Capitals secure a victory over RCB that resulted in a resounding seven-wicket victory, therefore keeping their hopes of winning the Indian Premier League alive.
Taking Royal Challengers Bangalore to 181 for four, Virat Kohli finished his “homecoming” with a historic fifty before Mahipal Lomror came through with a career-best performance for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The hitters from overseas for Delhi batted boldly to bring the target score down in 16.4 overs despite the fact that they needed to win every game from this point on to have a chance at making the playoffs. In addition to Salt’s amazing 87 off 45 balls, cameos from David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Rilee Rossouw were also helpful.
