RCB Unbox 2025: Virat Kohli makes mockery of Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The eagerly awaited RCB Unbox 2025 saw Virat Kohli create an explosion of his batting skills that blew away fans’ minds. Kohli dominated his senior bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar with an overwhelming stroke play display that reduced the veteran pacer to mockery. With the IPL season imminent, this show has provided a precursor to what could be a thrilling campaign for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
In the practice match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Kohli was in top form, sending Bhuvneshwar’s balls in all directions around the ground. His bold style and perfect timing brought back memories of his best days, and fans’ expectations were high for the next IPL 2025. The right-handed batsman executed perfect cover drives, big pull shots, and trademark flicks, totally rattling the seasoned bowler. Bhuvneshwar, famous for his accuracy and the ball’s ability to swing, struggled to keep Kohli in check, who was set to entertain the full house.
The RCB Unbox event, an annual tradition before the IPL, gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from their favourite team. Apart from Kohli’s batting masterclass, the event also saw the return of AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, who was honoured as RCB Hall of Famers. Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and new signings also made their presence felt, building excitement for the season ahead. Kohli’s effortless domination over Bhuvneshwar sent a strong message to RCB’s rivals that he is ready to lead from the front once again.
RCB’s loyal fans, known as the 12th Man Army, erupted in joy as Kohli showcased his batting brilliance, further strengthening their belief in a title-winning campaign. His attacking approach coupled with his physique and eagerness for runs is the player whom RCB depends on for achieving their first-ever IPL title. If this outing is anything to go by, Virat Kohli is poised to ignite the fire in IPL 2025, and bowlers from across the teams will have to keep an eye on what is ahead.
