In a video now viral on social media, Kohli mimicked Rahul\u2019s \u201cThis is my ground\u201d celebration during a chat post-match. This was a playful nod to Rahul\u2019s similar celebration during the RCB-DC clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium earlier this season on April 10.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"in\" dir=\"ltr\">Kohli doing KL Celebration \ud83c\udf89\ud83c\udf89 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ViratKohli?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ViratKohli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RCBvsDC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RCBvsDC<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NK5w8tRH5m\">pic.twitter.com\/NK5w8tRH5m<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pan India Review (@PanIndiaReview) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PanIndiaReview\/status\/1916553093656744366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1271\">Orange Cap leader<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1535\">With his half-century, Kohli also reclaimed the <strong data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1335\">Orange Cap<\/strong>.
