RCB vs GT | Twitter reacts to Kohli’s no-holds-barred cover drive to brother-turned-opposition Siraj

As the toss favoured the visiting captain Shubman Gill, the idea to field first paid dividends as Arshad Khan and Mohammed Siraj hit the right areas in the first couple of overs. Despite dominating the first couple of overs, Kohli’s glorious stroke after a mid-way stop from Siraj’s run-up was one of the cherished moments among fans. 

After a single off the first ball of the opening over, Kohli seemed unprepared to face Siraj as the Hyderabad pacer had to reload after a half-stop. Subsequently, he dished a length ball outside the stumps that the right-hander prodded forward to drive it on the up. Kohli came into a good position to time the cover drive beautifully through the two fielders on the off side. Seeing Siraj stop and get bashed for a four by his non-biological brother, the Twitterverse abuzz.

Hahaha! Expected!

Siraj paused mid-runup, unable to bowl his first ball to his bhaiya Virat. A moment of love, respect, and emotions beyond the game. ❤️🥹
