The modern-day batting maestro, Virat Kohli, enjoys a great fan following across the world, and in India in terms of popularity, he’s probably second to none. However, with as massive a fan following as the former Indian skipper has got, there come various troubles. Being surrounded by cameras all the time is one of them. And sometimes it might turn out to be embarrassing for anyone. One such moment happened with Virat Kohli before one of the practice sessions of RCB.
Fans leave Virat Kohli annoyed by recording him
The incident is from one of RCB’s practice sessions ahead of the Eliminator match against the Lucknow Super Giants. While Kohli was preparing to go into the nets for batting, some fans were recording him from the stands. As he started to pad up, he indicated the fans to stop recording as he had to wear the abdominal guard. However, the fans didn’t turn the camera off and ended up recording him. This left Virat Kohli annoyed as it was clearly seen from his reaction.
The video of the incident is going rounds on social media and netizens went on to react to it in different ways. While some looked at the funnier side of the incident, some went on to say how these types of incidents are harming the privacy of celebrities.

RCB reaches Qualifier 2 despite Kohli’s below-average season
Talking about Kohli’s performance in the ongoing season, he has had a below-average IPL season, keeping in mind the standards he has set for himself. In 15 matches so far, he has scored 334 runs at an average of 23.86 and a strike rate of 116.78. He however has played a crucial inning for the side in the last league match against Gujrat Titans.
The du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore have successfully made it to the Qualifier 2 after beating Lucknow Super Giants in a high-scoring encounter. The star-packed RCB side was in trouble in the first innings after du Plessis, Kohli and Maxwell went back early. However, Rajat Patidar hit his maiden century to take his side above 200 and post a mammoth total. Later on, the RCB bowlers put up a great show in the death overs and restricted PSG. Bangalore will next be facing Rajasthan Royals in the Second Qualifier on Friday.
