Virat Kohli’s body language and aggressive celebration after MS Dhoni’s dismissal gained a negative response from Twitter. Netizens were unhappy with the former RCB captain’s behavior.
Virat’s aggression
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli is well-known for his aggressive celebrations after every crucial wicket is taken. Kohli does not shy away from showing his emotions on the field. A similar incident was witnessed in the match against Chennai Super Kings. The Former RCB skipper was seen celebrating a bit too aggressively after taking MS Dhoni’s wicket in the last over of the match on Wednesday.
The incident took place in the 19th over of the second innings, when Dhoni was all set to finish the game for CSK. The latter has already finished a few games for Chennai this season. But RCB’s Josh Hazlewood bowled a short ball against Dhoni, on which the Chennai batter went for a pull shot, and ended up giving a simple catch to Rajat Patidar at deep mid-wicket. As soon as Rajat took the catch, Kohli went wild and celebrated the wicket a bit too aggressively.
After this incident, many MS Dhoni fans were unhappy with Virat for his celebration and also called it ‘Unacceptable’.
Unacceptable, He is literally abusing indian army personnel Ms Dhoni. 💔

Nevertheless, RCB won the match by 13 runs and made its space in the further matches by defeating the opposing team and ensuring that Super Kings get disqualified from the tournament.

Lot's of unnecessary hate for Virat Kohli ! That's his nature to shout and yell after a wicket. Man didn't give any slang to MS dhoni. More than you, he loves mahi and respects him the most. So stop spreading hate dumb people 🤡 pic.twitter.com/af0gcEzQMH

Scenes after Virat's wicket and
Scenes after Ms Dhoni's Wicket find the difference 🙂
As a Virat Kohli fan, this behaviour is unexpected from him. He could've celebrated the wicket by not using this foul language. On the field, behaviour matters in the game of cricket. pic.twitter.com/Ulwi1AisvS— Rahul (@Iamrahul8787) May 4, 2022

Yesterday a certain group of people started saying Virat lost our respect blah blah blah..
Man, he even used that BC word after AB wicket during 2018 test series
He didn't abused Dhoni on his face, BC word is synonymous of "F off" that's it
Even dhoni won't mind this. pic.twitter.com/ud0DixrKKy

He is abusing a guy who gave him career even after all his failures in england. He's abusing a guy who gave him full support during his captaincy. MS always backed him but kohli lost all his respect from us. pic.twitter.com/t2DvYLLIBt
