For context, the “Kikli” is a popular Indian folk dance form from Punjab, where two people hold each other’s hands tightly and spin rapidly in a circle. The video of Kohli and Bhuvneshwar performing the move quickly went viral on social media, leaving fans thrilled.
However, this wasn’t the first time Kohli’s dance moves grabbed attention during the celebrations. He was earlier spotted dancing with his wife, Anushka Sharmaas the couple celebrated RCB’s title win.
Kohli’s unbeaten 75 was the cornerstone of RCB’s second IPL title, and the legend couldn’t be more pleased with a dominant effort throughout the season.
“(It is the) stuff you dream of. (I) thought of this moment many times, wanting to hit the winning run,” Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony. Later, there was also an indirect mention of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshiand how he pushed him to alter his game over the course of this season.
Asked about his 25-ball half-century, Kohli showed why he eternally remains a student of the game. “Such is the demand (that) super young players (are) pushing you to up the ante,” he said in jest, but the seriousness of his statement wasn’t lost on anyone.
