In the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is locking horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday, April 23. Virat Kohli is one of the most expressive characters on a cricket field has ever witnessed and he never leaves an opportunity to garner the limelight with his antics on the field. The Indian star did the same against RR with a sarcastic celebration to send off Jos Buttler after his dismissal for a duck.
Wearing green for the first time in IPL 2023, RCB started off well against RR and reached a defendable score of 189/9. Walking in to chase a challenging total, RR experienced a horrendous start as they suffered the dismissal of Jos Buttler on the fourth ball of the first over. An inswinging beauty from Mohammed Siraj was the cause of Buttler’s debacle but Virat Kohli’s celebration made it worth watching.

Siraj opened the proceedings for the hosts and cleaned up the English opener facing the fourth ball of the over. He bowled a delivery nipping back in and the batter played outside the line. The middle stump was uprooted as a result and Buttler was dismissed for a duck. Kohli was jumping with joy after the dismissal as usual but pulled out a celebration that garnered a lot of attention. The Indian ace batter had a smile while looking at the batter and clapped while looking in his direction in a sarcastic manner.
Here are the videos of the dismissal of Jos Buttler and the celebration from Virat Kohli:
