[Watch] Virat Kohli gives M Shahrukh Khan an aggressive send-off in GT vs RCB IPL 2024 match
Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli was pumped as Mohammed Siraj got rid of the set Shahrukh Khan in the ongoing IPL 2024 match against the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In the process, the 35-year-old gave the right-handed batter an aggressive send-off.
The incident occurred in the 15th over of the innings when Siraj delivered a long-standing breakthrough for the Royal Challengers as the full reverse-swinging ball dismantled the stumps.
Siraj was pumped, while the cameras panned to Kohli, who gave Shahrukh a belligerent send-off while fielding on the boundary.

The wicket also ended the 86-run stand between Shahrukh and B Sai Sudharsan, with the two joining hands after Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha perished cheaply. Siraj also finished as the pick of the bowlers for the visiting side with figures of 4-0-34-1.
Virat Kohli passes 500 runs as Royal Challengers Bengaluru hammer the Gujarat Titans
Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers registered their second consecutive win in IPL 2024 as they crushed the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. With a stiff 201 set to win, visiting captain Faf du Plessis got their side off to a great start. While Kohli and Will Jacks struggled to time the ball initially, the two assumed control of the innings at the halfway mark.
The former RCB skipper completed his half-century in 31 deliveries and reached 500 runs in the 16th over of the innings. However, the highlight of the match was Jacks' innings as he carted Mohit Sharma for 29 runs in the 15th over with three sixes and a couple of boundaries.
He went two steps ahead in the following over against Rashid Khan after Kohli played the first ball and handed over the strike. The spin-bowling all-rounder went on to smash two fours and four sixes, with the last of those resulting in a hundred off only 41 deliveries.
