As expected, the RCB players, including Virat Kohli, couldn’t contain their excitement, and the whole team celebrated in style.

Kohli was seen dancing to Humankind’s song Run It Up inside the dressing room. The former India captain was thrilled after RCB’s victory over five-time champions CSK.

The celebrations didn’t stop there. Even after reaching the hotel, Kohli continued grooving to the same song. Players like Lungi Ngidi, Liam Livingstone, and Phil Salt also joined in, dancing to show their happiness.

RCB’s official Instagram handle shared the video with the caption, “A win so special, it got King Kohli grooving. This team! The vibes! We’re loving it.”

RCB scored 196/7 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. Rajat Patidar (51 off 32 balls), Phil Salt (32 off 16 balls), and Tim David (22 off 8 balls) were the top performers with the bat.

Virat Kohli struggled to time the ball well and scored only 31 runs off 30 balls. For most of his innings, his strike rate was below 100. His performance looked slightly better after he hit a six and a four against Matheesha Pathirana.

RCB easily defended their total, restricting CSK to 146/8. Josh Hazlewood struck early, dismissing Rahul Tripathi and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the second over.

Yash Dayal and Liam Livingstone took two wickets each, helping RCB secure a dominant win. With this victory, RCB now sits at the top of the standings.
