Virat Kohli's sister Bhawna overjoyed as RCB defeat PBKS to seal IPL 2025 final spot
Virat Kohli's sister celebrated RCB's entry into IPL final. New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won eight wickets on the way to beating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 1, qualifying for their fourth IPL final. RCB has not been to the final since 2016. On Instagram, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, sister of Virat Kohli, shared her happiness about the win. Bhawna took to Instagram after Royal Challengers Bangalore won comfortably. Having a 'Finals' sticker and an amulet emoji in her story showed she was proud of the team and wished they would finally break their 18-year run without winning the IPL. Punjab Kings (PBKS) did not last long at the crease, being bowled out by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for 101 in only 14.1 overs. RCB started the match by bowling well, thanks to Josh Hazlewood (3/21), Suyash Sharma (3/17) and Yash Dayal (2/26) which left PBKS reeling at 48/4 in the powerplay. The team of Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to win comfortably, even after early losses of Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal. United had scored the needed 159 runs thanks to Phil Salt's quickfire knock of 56* from 27 balls alongside Rajat Patidar's 15* as Royal had no more than eight wickets remaining by the 10th over. Suyash Sharma received the Player of the Match award for his decisive bowling performance. Following the game, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Rajat Patidar praised Suyash Sharma's strong showing. 'I think we were clear in our plans, how we have to bowl. I think the fast bowlers used the surface really well. The way Suyash chipped in, the way he bowled his lines and lengths, that was really good. As a captain, I am clear about his bowling. He has to target the stumps, that's his strength. His wrong 'un is difficult to read for the batters. I always want to give him clear ideas, I don't want to confuse him. I am okay if he concedes a few runs (in the process.) We have had a lot of practice sessions throughout the tournament, so one day of not practising won't harm you.'

"Followed His Gut Feel": AB De Villiers On Virat Kohli's Shocking Test Retirement
India's young guns have the talent to achieve something special in the upcoming England Test series, provided they back themselves, said AB de Villiers here on Saturday, adding that it's time for the new generation to step up. With the 25-year-old Shubman Gill at the helm, India will start a new cycle of the World Test Championship with a five-Test tour of England next month without their seasoned campaigners in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both announced their retirement recently. India will also miss the services of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who retired during last year's tour of Australia, and senior pacer Mohammed Shami, who was not selected for this tour owing to his lack of fitness for the conventional format. "Yes, it's time for the younger guys to step up... Shubman Gill taking on the responsibility," de Villiers told the media on the sidelines of a NGO Project Mumbai event here. "There's lots of talent in India and largely credit to the IPL for that, (it is) really giving great exposure to some of the youngsters at a very early age. We saw Vaibhav Suryavanshi this year (and) many other youngsters, they come in their first year and they look very mature and ready to play cricket and it's a great platform for Indian cricket," he said. The former South African skipper said the tour of England will be a tough test for the young Indian side, but keeping the belief could help them pull off a favourable result. "They've got to take some responsibility on in England, it'll be a tough test, but they have all the talent in the world and if they believe, maybe they can achieve something special." De Villiers, who shares a special bond with his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate Kohli, said he will be missed in Test cricket. "He followed his gut feel. I think he has done a lot for cricket around the world over the years. Luckily, we'll still see him on the cricket field. He will be missed in Test matches, there is no doubt about it, but he leaves (behind) a great legacy with the red ball,' de Villiers said. Talking about the Indian Premier League, de Villiers still backed Punjab Kings, who suffered an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of RCB in Qualifier 1, to reach the final. PBKS will take on Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Sunday for Qualifier 2. 'I said quite a while ago, about a month ago, that Gujarat (Titans) and RCB will be in the final. It looks like the odds are against my call but it is still cricket, you never know, it is a knockout match," he said. "It takes one or two great performances to turn the pressure onto your opposition. It's still going to be Punjab but I've got a little bit of doubt on my mind after watching last night's game,' said de Villiers, pointing out at the contest between MI and Gujarat Titans in which the five-times champion emerged winner in the high-scoring Eliminator.
