The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pulled off a
historic victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram
Stadium, breaking a 17-year-long drought in Chennai. Their 50-run
win in Match 8 of IPL 2025 not only stunned the home crowd but also
sparked wild celebrations in the RCB dressing room—led by none other than Virat
Kohli himself!
Kohli’s Dance Celebration Goes Viral
Following RCB’s emphatic victory, Virat Kohli was seen
dancing inside the dressing room to Humankind's 'Run It Up' song,
visibly ecstatic about the long-awaited win against five-time champions CSK
in their own backyard.
The celebrations continued even after the team reached their
hotel, where Kohli and his teammates, including Lungi Ngidi, Liam
Livingstone, and Phil Salt, were seen grooving to the same track.
