A handful of fans were seen running behind Virat Kohli’s car to seek his autograph following the IPL 2025 game against the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The car did stop momentarily but took off as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
The right-handed batter reigned supreme in yet another chase as he scored a vital half-century on a slow deck at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, fashioning an emphatic six-wicket victory for RCB. Not only did the 36-year-old become the leading run-getter in IPL 2025 or the Orange Cap holder but the Royal Challengers climbed to the top of the points table with seven wins.

“People are forgetting the importance of partnerships or going deep into the innings in T20s” – Virat Kohli
Speaking to the host broadcaster after the game, Kohli, who made 51, explained his approach during a run-chase claiming that strike rotation is vital on tricky surfaces like the one they found on Sunday. The veteran warned that players can’t start blasting the ball to the boundary from the outset, saying, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo:
“I look at the total on the board, the conditions, the bowlers who are due to bowl, who are the bowlers who are going to be hard to get away. I try and make sure my singles and doubles don’t stop and then you keep getting the odd boundary in between, so the game doesn’t get stagnant. That’s always been my focus, keep working on rotating the strike. People are forgetting the importance of partnerships or going deep into the innings in T20s and this year your’e seeing that you can’t just come out and tee off from ball one. You need to have professionalism to read the situation and try and get into a position where you can start dominating the bowlers.”
RCB will next face the Chennai Super Kings on May 3, Saturday in Bengaluru.
