Watch: Virat Kohli celebrates in style after losing 9th in IPL; proves he is a big sport
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli celebrated in style after losing 9th toss in the Indian Premier League. Out of 12 matches in IPL 2019, Kohli-led RCB have lost the toss 9 times and that left Virat Kohli very frustrated.
Kohli however did not lose his cool and celebrated the loss in style. While commentator Anjum Chopra was in conversation with Delhi Capitals’ skipper Shreyas Iyer, Kohli turned around and pointed nine fingers and pumped up his fist.
