Virat Kohli was at his animated best during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings on Sunday (April 20). He did not squander a single opportunity to get under the skin of the PBKS players with his trademark animated celebrations.
Towards the end of the game, it also led to an unpleasant moment as PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer was visibly annoyed with Virat Kohli’s on-field antics.
Virat was enjoying the chase
After Jitesh Sharma sealed the match for RCB by hitting a six, Virat Kohli turned animatedly towards Iyer and animatedly celebrated the victory.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Iyer did not look amused at all and was seen having a frosty conversation with his India teammate. At one stage, Iyer was even seen pushing Kohli’s arm, making it clear that he did not like his post-match celebration.

A fan throws a bottle at Virat Kohli:
It seems like Shreyas Iyer was not the only one who was annoyed by Virat Kohli’s antics on the field. One of the fans did not like the RCB superstar’s action either as the latter was attacked by an object after the game.
In a video that is going viral on social media, Kohli had something thrown at him. The incident took place after the game when Kohli and his RCB teammates were heading towards the dressing room. Just before Kohli entered the stadium, one of the fans threw something at him.
Fortunately, it did not hit Kohli or any other player. The former India captain looked at the stands once before walking away.
