Bangalore: ‘Each of us loves you Virat Kohli. Thank you for making the red ball exciting again.
While the ruthless rains have completely eliminated the Royal Challenger match in Bengaluru against the Kolkata Knights, Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday became a white beating theater for a man Virat Kohli, paying tribute to the cricketers who have everything that works for white.
It is an organic feeling for the players who put test cricket in the public conscience and is the most persuasive ambassador.
It was obvious that this day belonged to Kohli, because fans lined up in white white as early as 4.30 pm, carrying placards and wearing white jerseys, with the famous No. 18 relief on the back.
They want to catch a glimpse of Kohli, who is usually in the front row of the team bus, hoping to look back or wave quickly.
“Sir, Avaru Yavaga Baruthare? (When will he come?).
It’s not just a spike in fanaticism. It reflects the deep connection the city has built with Kohli over the past 18 years.
Kohli remains unwavering RCBIAN over the years, with the red and gold jerseys just like a second skin for him.
“For me, the relationship and mutual respect I have built with RCB over the years is the most valuable. It doesn’t matter whether we win trophies or not. It’s my home,” Kohli once said.
In return, even elsewhere in the cricket world, Bangalore is loyal to Kohli because he laughs at his aggression or his occasional temper.
Kohli never had the status of a pan-Indian god like Sachin Tendulkar, nor was he accepted by Chennai “Thala” from Dhoni MS.
But he, like anyone else, is necessary for the city dwellers, for a cup of morning coffee. Coley has become their habit and is a lovely addiction.
This is also amazing. Karnataka has been a hub for gentleman cricketers from Gr Viswanath to Anil Kumble to Javagal Srinath to Rahul Dravid, a proud lineage that matches the city’s upper middle class values.
But it wholeheartedly adopts an Uber aggressive, non-Kannada cricketer who does not hesitate to spit out some picky people into the heart and should study this strange wedding from a socio-cultural perspective.
RCB team director Mo Bobat once talked about this about Kohli-Fan Connection.
“He was those special moments, those exciting moments. He did it as a captain, as a player and we were all proud of him. I’m sure the fans will show him a lot of love when they see him again,” Bobat said.
However, the evening rain is part of the rapid monsoon environment in this part of the country, almost revealing their love.
However, fans often wait patiently for rcbeee or kooohli kooohli.
Perhaps, it was a collective ode to let the rain move away and gave them the opportunity to “kohli darshan’rcb fans’ version of “thala darishanam”, which Chennai Super King often used to describe Dhoni’s witnesses around the city.
However, this moment never came because the sky opened its footsteps to flush the game between RCB and KKR.
The faithful have to have a visual effect with the thoughtful “King” that sits in the locker room and often appears on the big screen.
They welcomed those little comforts, cheers, and waved the RCB flag.
But, on a rainy night, that’s all they have.
But with Phil Collins’ famous singing, they will pay tribute to Kohli on May 23, when RCB confronted Sunrisers Hyderabad.
So keep the white dry Bengals!
