After the game and a successful sixth half century in this IPL season, Kohli enjoyed the homecoming innings at the Delhi stadium. And his mentor, Rajkumar Sharma, was right there at the stadium to support his dear student on the field. After the match, Kohli met his coach and also touched his feet. The two hugged each other and shared a short chit-chat before Sharma playfully punched Kohli in the Belly, congratulating him for the fifty.

In a Post-match interview, Virat Kohli spoke about the win and said, “It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We saw a few games here and this wicket played out differently compared to those. Whenever there’s a chase on, I keep checking with the dugout, whether we’re on course, what is my role, what kind of innings I need to play. “We were uner pressure, 3 for 25-26 and then me and Krunal getting a century partnership. He was outstanding today with the bat, he can make that impact and we were just waiting for him to come into this tournament with the bat as well,” he added as per ESPNcricinfo.

Winning against Delhi Capitals, RCB continued their away win streak and registered their sixth win of the six away games. With a win here, RCB is now placed at the top of the points table with 7 wins and 14 points.
