IPL 2025: Virat Kohli's Aggressive Celebration Viral As Abhishek Sharma Walks Off After Losing His Wicket In RCB vs SRH Clash; Video

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli was spotted celebrating Abhishek Sharma's aggressively during the IPL 2025 match against the SunRisers Hyderabad at the Ekana International Stadium on May 23, Friday. With the left-hander walking away wearing a disappointed expression, the former RCB captain didn't miss a chance to celebrate aggressively.

Abhishek was seen going hammer and tongs against the RCB bowlers, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar, carting the veteran seamer for 10 runs in two deliveries. However, the youngster's fun came to an end during the fourth over as he holed out to deep backward square leg fielder when batting on 34 off only 16 deliveries and seemed on track for a big score.
