The 37th match of IPL 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Chandigarh witnessed a fiery exchange that has since set social media ablaze. The spotlight fell on Virat Kohli, RCB’s legendary batter, who locked horns with PBKS spinner Harpreet Brar in a heated verbal duel. A viral video captured Kohli’s sharp retort at the non-striker’s end: “20 saal ho gaye, tere coach ko bhi jaanta hoon.”
Kohli’s Fiery Words Ignite the Match
The tension between Kohli and Brar isn’t new. Brar, known for his impressive performances against RCB, had previously turned the tide in 2021 by dismissing Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Glenn Maxwell in a single match, securing a 34-run victory for PBKS. This time, however, Brar managed to break the crucial 103-run partnership between Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal by dismissing the latter after a stellar 61-run innings.
RCB’s Dominant Chase
Earlier in the game, PBKS struggled to put up a competitive total, with Prabhsimran Singh top-scoring at 33 off 17 balls. RCB’s spinners, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, stifled the PBKS batters, each claiming two wickets while maintaining an economy rate under seven. Chasing a modest target, RCB lost Philip Salt early, but Padikkal and Kohli steadied the ship with a masterful partnership. Kohli remained unbeaten on 73 off 54 balls, guiding RCB to a comfortable seven-wicket victory.
Kohli’s Unstoppable Form
Kohli’s performance was a reminder of his sheer class and determination. His knock included seven boundaries and a six, showcasing his ability to anchor the innings under pressure. Despite Brar’s breakthroughs, Kohli’s resilience ensured RCB’s dominance, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
