The recent IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium saw a friendly banter between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul post the RCB side defeated the home team by six wickets on Sunday, April 27.
During RCB’s chase of 163, a heated moment between Kohli and Kl Rahul caught attention.
With Kohli batting and Rahul behind the stumps, the two Indian teammates engaged in an exchange. Former spinner Piyush Chawla later explained that Kohli was annoyed with DC taking extra time to set their field, while Rahul mentioned potential slow over-rate penalties.
After the match, a funny moment took place between the two. In a video shared by Delhi Capitals, the 36-year-old revealed he had planned a ‘Kantara’ celebration, mocking Rahul’s famous gesture after DC’s win at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
“Pata hai, maine kya socha tha, match khatam karunga, yeh karunga (Kantara celebration), fir aake tere ko hug karunga. Inko nahi pata hai naa off-the-field kaisa hai. (You know what I thought, I’ll finish the match, do this (Kantara celebration) – and then will come to you to hug you. These guys don’t know how we are off-the-field.” Kohli said. To which Rahul replied, “yahi bol rha that mai, achha hua out ho gaya. (That’s what I was telling him, good you got out).”

Thanks to Tim David’s 19* off 5 balls, RCB easily crossed the finish line even after Kohli was dismissed. RCB rose to the top of the points standings with the victory. On May 3, the team will play their next match against the Chennai Super Kings, their bitter rivals. DC, meantime, has 12 points and is in fourth place. On April 29, they will play the Kolkata Knight Riders.
