Virat Kohli surprised fans with his calm reaction during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings.
The moment came when Sanju Samson edged the ball to the slips, where Kohli took a neat catch. But instead of his usual energetic celebration, Kohli stayed quiet and showed very little emotion.
Kohli is known for his aggressive and passionate celebrations on the field, which made this reaction stand out even more during the game.
Fans quickly noticed this and started talking about it on social media. Many were surprised to see Kohli so calm, while others felt it showed a more relaxed side of him.

There has been no official comment from Kohli about the moment, but his reaction has become a big talking point among fans.
But all said and done, the point to be noted here is the rather mute celebration on the part of Virat Kohli, who usually, by the way, is an excited and high voltage cricketer who passionately celebrates the fall of every wicket. However, not on Sanju’s dismissal from the crease the other evening. Could it mean that much like how he is to fans, Sanju is dear to Virat as well?
