‘Virat getting a 100 will be a great tribute to Dada’: Sreesanth’s huge statement ahead of RCB vs DC clash

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not only about the performances on the field but also about showing the raw emotions that keep cricket fans glued to their television sets or mobile screens. Virat Kohli was loved by fans not only for his world-class batting skills but also for his aggressiveness on the field. Something similar will be seen when Kohli returns to his native Delhi as part of Royal Challengers Bangalore to take on David Warner's Delhi Capitals today.

Both teams enter the 50th match of IPL 2023 after brilliant performances in low-scoring matches. Kohli and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who also serves as the director of cricket for the Capitals, do not share a cordial relationship after he was sacked as the captain of the Indian ODI team.

When the two teams met in Bengaluru this season, the post-match incident between Kohli and Ganguly was the most talked about topic. Several of their videos went viral on social media where they were seen avoiding each other.

In these videos, Ganguly is seen skipping the line as DC head coach Ricky Ponting talks to Kohli as part of the customary post-match handshake. Next, Kohli was seen giving a death stare to Ganguly, who was sitting in the dugout, after he caught Aman Hakim Khan. Fans are expecting something similar to happen at the Arun Jaitley Stadium  today when the two sides face each other.

Former India pacer S Sreesanth highlighted an interesting aspect of the match during Star Sports Cricket Live saying, “Match No. 50. Golden match of the IPL. This is going to be very exciting. DC playing RCB. No. 1 for me is captain vs captain. Virat Kohli vs David Warner. It is going to be a thriller to watch as DC just won a game and RCB is on the verge of taking on the best in the league.”

” …I would love to see Virat Kohli score a hundred. It will be a great tribute to Dada too. Virat just go out there and express yourself. Win this for RCB.”  Sreesanth further said. Fans will be looking forward to watching Kohli play against the likes of players like Ishant Sharma in his city of birth on Saturday.
