The Australians have learned their lesson the tough way, but there exists a saying in international cricket regarding dealing with Virat Kohli, at least for the past ten years: 'Don't provoke the bear. ' Throughout his remarkable career, Kohli has perfected the skill of responding stylishly, whether it pertains to critics or the opposing team. Therefore, before the Delhi Capitals welcome the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, KL Rahul was cautioned about a potential Kohli retaliation for his Chinnaswamy behavior.

After scoring an unbeaten 93 off 53 against RCB in Bengaluru earlier this month, Rahul celebrated exuberantly, indicating that Chinnaswamy Stadium was now his "home ground. " The celebration went viral across social media, and that was the primary topic among fans and analysts, aside from his stellar performance.

Nevertheless, with Delhi now hosting RCB, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar alerted Rahul that Kohli might likely enact a similar revenge gesture, signifying a "Who's the boss" moment. It's also important to remember that the Arun Jaitley Stadium is Kohli's home ground, which even features the ‘Virat Kohli Pavilion. ’

"I believe Virat will approach it a bit differently. I think he'll demonstrate that 'OK, that pavilion in which you're seated, it’s mine. ' Who’s the boss? Virat is the authority there," Bangar remarked on Star Sports.

How has Kohli performed in IPL 2025?

The former India captain stands as the second-highest run-scorer in the current IPL 2025 season, having accumulated 392 runs in nine innings at an average of 65. 33 and a strike rate of 144. 11. His total includes five half-centuries. Should he achieve 26 more runs in the match against Delhi, he will acquire the Orange Cap for the first time this season. Gujarat Titans' Sai Sudharsan currently leads the run tally in IPL 2025, with 417 runs at 52. 13.

However, beyond the Orange Cap, Kohli aims to secure a victory for RCB as they face second-placed Delhi. The winner will have the opportunity to overthrow the Gujarat Titans to claim the top position and will be just one win away from guaranteeing a place in the playoffs. Both RCB and DC hold 12 points each.
