RCB VS CSK: Even in front of his superiors, Virat Kohli has never hesitated to show his feelings when facing an opponent on the field. A similar incident occurred during the conclusion of the current IPL 2025 match between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram, where the former RCB captain threatened Khaleel Ahmed in front of the renowned MS Dhoni.
In the third over of the game, the left-arm CSK pacer bowled a bouncer to the RCB batter that slanted outside, beginning the duel between Virat Kohli and Khaleel Ahmed. Virat Kohli, one of the greatest pull shot players, attempted the same move but lost to the additional bounce. Kohli and Khaleel Ahmed exchanged death stares when the ball was dropped. Virat Kohli chose to return it to the bowler after the game because he was still thinking about Khaleel Ahmed’s death gaze treatment, even though the Royal Challengers Bangalore team won by 50 runs.

Virat Kohli kind of healthily threatened Khaleel Ahmed in front of MS Dhoni during the traditional handshakes in a video that went popular on social media. Knowing that Virat Kohli was upset with him, the CSK fast bowler made an unsuccessful attempt to explain.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to Virat Kohli’s response to Khaleel Ahmed after that. Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, teammates on the national squad, were seen enjoying a good time together. However, Virat Kohli became serious as soon as Khaleel Ahmed appeared in front of them. Even though it was difficult to interpret Virat Kohli’s exact words to Khaleel Ahmed, it is safe to conclude that the former India captain urged the opposing bowler to be more careful the next time they play each other.
