Dressing Room Laughter: Tim David’s Prank on Virat Kohli
After a remarkable victory against the Rajasthan Royals, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) players relished a lighter moment. In a humorous episode that had fans delighting, Tim David played a prank on Virat Kohli by secretly taking a bat from his collection. The prank, captured in a video and shared by RCB on social media, shows the lively spirits in the dressing room post-match.
The Prank Unfolds
The intrigue began when David discreetly removed one of Kohli’s bats, commenting, “I want to see how long it will take Virat to realize we have taken one of his bats.” The initially puzzled Kohli, on discovering the missing bat, humorously remarked to his teammates, “I counted my bats yesterday; it was seven. It’s six now.”
The moment Kohli located his bat in another bag, David quipped, “I didn’t take it, I just borrowed it.” This led to an outburst of laughter amongst the team, with Kohli playfully inquiring, “Sabko pata tha na (Everyone knew about this, right?)”
Kohli’s Remarkable Achievement
Apart from the dressing room fun, the match was a significant one for Kohli who etched his name deeper into cricket history. During RCB’s chase of 174 runs, the fierce batsman notched up his 100th T20 half-century, joining Australian cricket icon David Warner in an exclusive club of prolific scorers. Kohli displayed his quintessential fiery batting, contributing significantly to RCB’s smooth sail to a 9-wicket victory.
Key Moments of the Game
Kohli’s robust innings were essential in RCB’s domination of the game. He added an unbeaten 83-run partnership with Devdutt Padikkal, pushing the scoreboard to a convincing win. His triumphant return to the pavilion, scoring an unbeaten 62 from 45 balls, ensured RCB’s ascent to the third rank in the league standings.
Conclusion
Amidst the thrill of the win and the light-hearted pranks, Kohli’s consistent performance remains a talking point. As RCB continues to shine in IPL 2025, the camaraderie and high spirits within the team paint a promising picture for the matches ahead.
