NEW DELHI: Whenever there is a
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
match,
Virat Kohli
always steals the limelight whether it’s through his commanding batting, his infectious dance moves, or his engaging banter picked up by the stump mic.
RCB’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday was no different as Kohli was seen engaging in a funny moment during the mid-innings interview.

Kohli’s unbeaten 83 off 59 balls propelled RCB to a total of 182/6, eclipsing Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen to claim the top spot as the leading run-scorer in

.
During the mid innings, RCB all-rounder
Cameron Green
was given a task to present the Orange Cap to Kohli. In a humorous twist, Green unintentionally passed both the Orange Cap and the microphone, intended for his own interview to Kohli, before nonchalantly walking off.
The ensuing interaction between Kohli and commentator Ian Bishop sparked hearty laughter, as Kohli teasingly handed back the microphone to Green, who asked him to leave in a funny manner.
Talking about the match, Kohli’s blistering knock went in vain as KKR cruised to a seven-wicket victory.
Chasing the home side’s 182-6, Kolkata reached their target with 19 balls to spare when skipper Shreyas Iyer hit an unruffled six off Mayank Dagar.
Their chase was off to a roaring start with Phil Salt (30) and all-rounder Sunil Narine (47) putting on 86 for the visitors.
