This young player, who made his IPL debut this season, turned out to be such a big fan of Virat Kohli that he said something that made the cricket fans sit up and take notice.
Vipraaj recently revealed that when he was bowling to Virat Kohli against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kohli hit a straight six off his ball.
Now listen to the interesting thing, Vipraaj did not get angry with this six, rather he became happy!
He said, “Bowling to Virat Kohli is like a dream come true; getting him out is a different thing altogether. He stepped out and hit a straight six over my head. I was actually happy with that six because it was hit by the great Virat Kohli.”
Everyone is surprised to hear that brother, were you playing for your team or did you come to get Kohli’s autograph? This fanboy moment of Vipraaj went viral on social media.
Many people are calling it funny, while some say that it is against the spirit of sportsmanship.
After all, rivalry is at the top in cricket, and one has to give his life for his team. But Vipraaj’s heart fell for Kohli’s six.
Vipraaj played 14 matches for Delhi Capitals this season. He scored 142 runs with the bat, in which his strike rate was explosive at 179.75. He also took 11 wickets in bowling.
His innings of 39 runs also gave Delhi a thrilling victory. But this incident with Kohli is now getting more attention than his debut.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli won the first title for RCB in this IPL. He was the third highest run scorer by scoring 657 runs in 15 matches.
Kohli also crossed the 8000 run mark in IPL, which is a big record in itself. However, his sudden retirement from Test cricket shocked the fans.
Now he will play for India only in ODIs. He will return to the field on the Australia tour in October.
