India vs Netherlands in Bengaluru: Virat Kohli Makes a Stylish Entry

After making quick work of South Africa in their previous game, India will be hoping to extend their undefeated run against the Dutch side at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on November 12.

A fan-uploaded video of Virat Kohli batter has emerged on X (formerly Twitter) in which Kohli can be seen making his way to a car at the Bengaluru airport amidst heavy security.

In the post, the fan wrote, “King Virat Kohli has arrived in Namma Bengaluru. @imVkohli #INDvsNED #ViratGang.” Several fans have since reacted to the video, welcoming their legend to the city in the replies section.

Kohli has been an active part of the Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore since 2008 before assuming captaincy in 2013.

Kohli remains one of the most loved cricketers at the franchise.

It explains why so many fans were happy to see their star return. One of them replied saying, “King reached his own kingdom”.

Another fan seemed to agree as he wrote, “King has arrived in his Kingdom”.

One fan seemed to be confused with the high security surrounding the player. He said, “Why is there so much security? Bangalore is home.”

“Take care of our adopted son Namma Bengaluru”, wrote another.

In one of the replies, a fan was excited about India’s upcoming game considering Kohli could break a massive record at home against the Dutch side. “Kohli + Bengaluru + Already reached 49th ODI ton…Stuff of dreams…”, he said.

Kohli has been in phenomenal form in 2023 for both club and country.

The batter has smashed two Test and five ODI centuries for India this year so far.

He was also a crucial member of the playing squad that secured continental glory after beating Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 final.

At the World Cup, Kohli has managed to accumulate some staggering numbers.

He has scored four fifties in the tournament alongside two centuries and is currently the second-highest top scorer of the tournament with 543 runs in eight innings while maintaining a jaw-dropping average of 108.60.

For RCB, the batter smashed 639 runs in the 2023 edition of IPL which included two centuries and six fifties in 14 matches.

He also matched the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time ODI century tally by smashing his 49th against South Africa at the Eden Gardens.

His knock proved to be crucial as India went on to win the game by a whopping 243 runs. It will be interesting to see if Kohli could add a 50th ton to surpass the Indian legend at home against the Netherlands.
