Though Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is languishing at the bottom of the points table, the franchise's former captain is the top run scorer in this edition of the IPL and has the Orange Cap.
In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, Kohli top scored for RCB with a 43-ball 51, hitting a six and 4 fours and his team went on to win the match by 35 runs.
On Friday, the official X handle of the Indian Premier League shared a heart-warming video of Kohli's contribution in the match.
The video shows Kohli doing batting practice drills before the match with fans (including those of SRH), chanting "Kohli! Kohli!".
The video also shows some shots of his knock and his electric fielding. As his team heads to victory, Kohli is shown laughing and chatting with teammates, clearly enjoying his time on the field.
The video ends with Kohli acknowledging the cheers from the crowd with a raised right hand.
RCB play their next match against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
