🔥 Kohli vs KL Rahul – IPL 2025

That moment came on April 27 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, where RCB defeated Delhi. Though Kohli got out early and couldn’t celebrate during the match, he trolled Rahul after the game with a cheeky grin—caught on camera and trending on social media.
🔥 Kohli vs Shreyas Iyer
I know Virat Kohli gave that reaction playfully, which is totally alright. But if Shreyas Iyer had done the same, these Instagram dehatis would’ve flooded his comment section with abuses without knowing the context pic.twitter.com/zq7TG6thXa

Punjab Kings’ captain Shreyas Iyer once celebrated a win against RCB in Bengaluru. Kohli didn’t forget. Later, when RCB beat Punjab in Chandigarh, Kohli mocked Iyer with a fun-filled celebration, returning the favour in full style.
🔥 Kohli vs Kesrick Williams
Back in 2017, West Indies pacer Kesrick Williams mocked Kohli with his "notebook celebration" after dismissing him. But Kohli waited two years.On this day in 2019, Virat Kohli scored 94*(50) while chasing 207.

In 2019, during a T20 match in Nagpur, Kohli smashed 94* off 50 balls against Williams and returned the same "notebook celebration." Williams' international career faded soon after. Coincidence?
🔥 Kohli vs Glenn Maxwell
During the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli injured his shoulder. In a later match, Glenn Maxwell mocked the injury by holding his shoulder.
Kohli replied during Australia’s second innings when he took a catch and looked towards the Aussie dressing room, holding his shoulder in revenge. Later, it was revealed that Kohli had even blocked Maxwell on Instagram!
