Virat Kohli, Tuesday, June 3, could not have a big impact on the bat in the IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Punjab Kings at Stade Narendra Moda in Ahmedabad
After the Kings of Punjab won the draw and chose to make a bowl first, Virat Kohli and Phil Salt opened the sleeves for RCB. While Virat Kohli made sure to keep his counter safely, he never really tried to change the gears before being finally dismissed on the 15th.

RCB’s higher referral
While Salt, Mayank Agarwal and Rajat Patidar hit a burst of limits, Virat Kohli has practically shown no intention to go for the blow. At the end of the PowerPlay, he hit only 13 points out of 10 balls.
Before he could change speed, he was dismissed by Azmatullah Omarzai in the 15th. The right -wing drummer lost his counter against a short ball. He left after scoring only 43 points out of 35 balls. Virat Kohli managed to reach only 3 limits during his stay at 35 bullets.
Unsurprisingly, his slow blow did not go well with a certain number of fans who have not lost time to denigrate him on social networks.
Here are some of the slow reactions of Virat Kohli:

Coming to the match, RCB finished its sleeves on a competitive total of 190/9 in the 20 Overs allocated. By the way, the 43 of Virat Kohli were the highest score of a RCB drummer in the match. For Punjab, Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson picked up 3 counters each.
Punjab hunting an elusive title
The Punjab Kings had driven 204 points against the Mumbai Indians in the same place last Sunday and you will like their chances again. The team led by Shreyas Iyer will seek to avenge the humiliating loss that she suffered in the hands of RCB in the first qualifier.
The RCB and Punjab kings are considering their first IPL title and play the final after a decade. The Punjab Kings plays the final after 11 years with their first and last appearance in 2014. On the other hand, the third and last appearance of RCB came in 2016.
