Virat Kohli was over the moon after Mumbai Indians sent Delhi Capitals packing, giving Royal Challengers Bangalore a ticket to the IPL playoffs. The Saturday night’s clash between MI and DC had extra eyeballs glued thanks to the tricky equation that were to decide the fate of two teams namely- Delhi and RCB. For DC to qualify for the next round, the Rishabh Pant camp had to simply win the contest. But for RCB to advance, their fate was in the hands of MI and the latter did just that. Chasing DC’s 159/7, MI got there with five deliveries to spare.
It was around that time, a “thank you” tweet from former RCB skipper Kohli to Rohit Sharma began doing the rounds on social media. For context, Kohli was simply replying to his mate wishing him a happy birthday back in 2019 on Twitter.
Thanks Rohit
