While Virat Kohli may not captain Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) anymore but he still continues to win the hearts of RCB fans all around the world. With the burden of captaincy no longer on his shoulders, fans can see a lot more relaxed Kohli on the field these days.
One such incident happened on Wednesday when RCB faced off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kohli was seen making a funny expression was taking the catch of KKR batter Sam Billings.
The 33-year-old doesn’t shy away from showing his emotions and actions on the field, and that’s what separates him from many other cricketers.

Talking about the match, RCB were able to get back to winning ways after registering their first win of the season, beating KKR by 3-wickets. Faf du Plessis won the toss and chose to bowl first, after which KKR could only muster up a total of 128 runs, thanks to Wanindu Hasaranga’s fiery spell of 4/20.
In reply, RCB also suffered a batting collapse of sorts, but Sherfane Rutherford rode the storm as his patient knock of 28 off 40 was just enough to take RCB on the cusp of victory. Dinesh Karthik then scored an unbeaten 14 off 7 balls to lead his side home.
