On April 10, 2025, KL Rahul stunned RCB with a blistering unbeaten 93 off 53 balls at Chinnaswamy Stadium, celebrating with a dramatic bat gesture resembling a 'Kantara' dance. His bold "this is my land" message infuriated RCB fans and has since dominated headlines.

Now, the countdown has begun for Kohli’s response. Having already silenced Shreyas Iyer with a fiery performance after a similar provocation in Punjab, Kohli’s sights are now locked on Rahul. With Delhi Capitals next on RCB’s list, Kohli is determined to repay Rahul’s celebration with interest — and on Rahul’s home turf.

Former India pacer Varun Aaron has also hinted that fans can expect fireworks from Kohli, who is in red-hot form and playing in his hometown. Known for thriving under pressure, Kohli is expected to channel his anger into a statement performance, possibly delivering his own emphatic "this is my ground" moment.

Today’s showdown isn't just another league match — it’s a personal battle. With revenge in the air, fans are eager to see if King Kohli can reclaim his throne in Delhi.
