On Friday, October 16, i.e. one day after Bangalore’s defeat to Punjab, Virender Sehwag took to his social media accounts to summarise the game. The former Indian cricketer also took this opportunity to make fun of Virat Kohli’s nickname in a hilarious manner.
Virender Sehwag opened his video by posing as a parody version of Virat Kohli, whose name is VK and hails from an outside world. Since the Bangalore captain is nicknamed as VK in real life, Sehwag’s hilarious take on the cricketer was in rhyming reference to the titular character of a 2014 Bollywood blockbuster film.

Prior to the match, Bangalore captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first. On the back of his 39-ball 48 and Chris Morris’ unbeaten 8-ball 25, the Bangalore side posted a competitive 171-6 in their 20 overs. Punjab spinner Murugan Ashwin and pacer Mohammad Shami were the pick of the bowlers as they both scalped two wickets each.
Punjab openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal then formed a 78-run opening stand to set up an exciting run-chase. After Agarwal’s (45 off 25 balls) departure, comeback veteran Chris Gayle formed a 93-run second-wicket partnership with his skipper. KL Rahul was adjudged as ‘Player of the Match’ for his unbeaten 61 off just 49 balls while Gayle scored 53 off 45 balls on his return. Despite Punjab’s win, they are still placed at the bottom of the Dream11 IPL points table.
