Virat Kohli's outstanding performance and his bond with fatherhood shone through in the IPL 2024 victory

After the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's victory over Punjab Kings in an IPL 2024 match on Monday, Virat Kohli eagerly embraced his fatherhood duties. Just minutes after the game ended at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Kohli video-called his wife, Anushka Sharma, and children, Vamika and Akaay, from the field. Kohli was focused on connecting with his family. He ignored the TV cameras zooming in on him as he chatted on the phone after the post-match ceremony.

Virat Kohli was seen cheerfully playing with his children while on his phone. The star batter's playful expressions during this jovial moment have been making rounds on social media.

The Bengaluru stadium was in high spirits as Virat Kohli's incredible 49-ball 77 helped RCB successfully chase down a 177-run target. The batting ace was awarded Player of the Match shortly after. As he continued to guide the youngsters from both teams, Kohli interacted with children in a video call. Kohli appeared at ease and satisfied with his role in his team's first IPL 2024 victory.

After taking a nearly two-month hiatus from cricket to be with his wife for the birth of their second child, Virat Kohli seems to be regaining his top form. The star skipper missed the recent Test series between India and England. He was spotted in the UK with his daughter before returning home for the IPL.

Virat Kohli's animated fielding during Punjab Kings' innings foreshadowed his aggressive batting performance. The former RCB captain flung himself around to save runs for his team. True to form, Kohli confidently strode to the crease and launched a blistering assault on the Punjab bowlers, laying a solid foundation for RCB's successful run chase at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. After struggling against Chennai, Kohli regained his dominant batting form, punishing the Punjab attack with two sixes and eleven boundaries.

His knock brought RCB closer to the target, and a cameo from veteran Dinesh Karthik at the end ensured the home team crossed the finish line, securing their first win in IPL 2024.
