The Main Story

Virat Kohli scored a superb ton in the 4th ODI which displayed how dominating he could be once he gets going. He followed it up with another masterful century in the last ODI. Chennai Super Kings franchise seemed to be loved his innings and posted an interesting message on Twitter for their competitors Royal Challengers Bangalore. The official account of CSK hailed the master of successful chases and hoped that he doesn’t play like that against them next year. The tweet read, “What can we say about this man. We can only hope we have a better day when we play against @RCBTweets. Inspiring. #ViratKohli.” The franchise is making a comeback next year after serving a two-year suspension from IPL.

RCB, in reply, praised their skipper for an excellent performance. The tweet read, “Always a #WhistlePodu when Virat Kohli gets going! #PlayBold.” The franchise would hope Kohli continues in the same form and do wonders for them in next season of IPL. RCB had a woeful season this year as they struggled to win a lot of games which resulted in them languishing at the bottom of the points table.
