Virat Kohli was seen in a fun mood on many occasions during Qualifier-1. Batting first, when Royal Challengers Bangalore scored a huge score of 254 runs, all the players were very chill while bowling, due to the pressure of the scoreboard, the top order of Gujarat Titans completely disintegrated. However, even before the match, Kohli was in a fun mood, he gestured ‘Baba ji ka thullu’ to Shubman Gill and team. He also played a prank on the umpire in the match.
Before the start of Qualifier-1, when Gujarat Titans players were sitting on the field for team photo, Virat Kohli was wearing pads on the crease. RCB had to bat first. Although there was no visible pressure on Virat Kohli, he was also seen dancing a little while standing on the boundary and then gestured ‘Baba Ji Ka Thullu’ towards the GT team. It is being claimed in the video that he made this gesture towards Shubhman Gill, which was a joke.
Before the game started, Virat Kohli was seen dancing while eating a banana. As the GT squad was posing for their photoshoot, Virat hilariously made a snake-like gesture towards Shubman Gill. 🔥🔥#RCBvsGT pic.twitter.com/6qlqkt46GZ

prank with umpire
After scoring 254 runs, Royal Challengers Bangalore came into the bowling in a spirited manner, Virat Kohli gave his cap to the umpire and got ready to bowl. The umpire probably also wondered whether Kohli was really going to bowl the first over? Then Jacob Duffy took the ball from him, Kohli laughingly went to the umpire to take his cap. Even the umpire started laughing.
