Virat Kohli made 131 runs as Delhi defeated Andhra in VHT 2025 by four wickets.
However, over 10,000 fans crowded the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur to see Rohit Sharma's run-fest; the scenario in Bengaluru could not have been more different on Wednesday. Rohit capitalized on the crowd's fervor, blasting a stunning 155 off 94 balls against Sikkim and ensuring that viewers went home thoroughly entertained.
In Bengaluru, however, Delhi's match versus Andhra was held behind closed doors at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, denying supporters access despite Kohli's presence.
Undeterred, a few fans who made the lengthy journey to the outskirts of Bengaluru devised creative ways to view the game. Trees lining the ground served as vantage points, with supporters climbing branches to see into the event.
When Kohli stepped out to bat during Delhi's 300-run chase, some climbed atop container trucks parked near warehouses across the road.
One fan took a video while perched atop a tree, which instantly went viral on social media and became one of the most shared videos of the day.
Kohli delivered a performance worthy of a packed stadium. Chasing 299 against a formidable Andhra onslaught led by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Tripurana Vijay, he exemplified grace. Kohli scored 131 off 111 deliveries, including three sixes and 14 boundaries, as Delhi won by four wickets.
