Virat Kohli Entertains Crowd With His Dance On Appadi Podu During IPL 2024 Opener. Watch | Cricket News

Chennai Super Kings started their IPL 2024 with a comfortable six-wicket victory against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk on Friday. The match was a special one as CSK fans got to witness the legendary MS Dhoni back in action but not as the skipper. Ahead of the first match, Dhoni stepped down as the captain and handed over the responsibility to young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. Apart from him, another player who was on everyone’s radar was RCB star batter Virat Kohli, who was returning to action after a gap of almost two months.

Kohli, who is known for his ruthless batting, has also got an entertaining side, which came out during the opening match against CSK. During the mid-innings break, the dashing 35-year-old batter was seen showing some dance moves on the field.

Kohli entertained the fans and some of his teammates with his quirky dance on Thalapathy Vijay’s hit song, Appadi Podu.

Talking about his performance, the star batter failed to live up to the expectations of the fans as he got dismissed for 21 off 20 balls against CSK.

CSK, who have not lost to RCB at home since 2008, thus kept their enviable record intact.

Mustafizur, with his best ever IPL figures of 4/29 in four overs, was largely responsible for restricting RCB to 173 for six on a good batting track, where a 95-run sixth wicket stand off 50 balls between Anuj Rawat (48 off 25 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (38 not out off 26 balls) was the visitors’ only saving grace.

Jadeja (25 not out off 17 balls) brought his oodles of experience just when things could have got tricky in the run chase, hurrying a rusty Dube (34 off 28 balls) into completing some quick doubles to complete the chase in 18.4 overs. Dube also grew in confidence in Jadeja’s company towards the end as he finished the chase in a jiffy.
