IPL 2025: 'My Head Is Still Ringing', Says Virat Kohli After Being Cheekily Told RCB Star Broke Lionel Messi's Record; Video

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's spin-bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan left Virat Kohli in splits with his dressing room banter ahead of their third match of IPL 2025. Making an assessment of Kohli's football skills, Rangarajan hilariously pointed out the veteran batter has headed more balls than legendary Lionel Messi. Kohli said in response that his head is still ringing.

Kohli, the former RCB captain and arguably the most popular member of the side, got off in style in IPL 2025 with an unbeaten 59 against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, he struggled in the game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) but the Royal Challengers have won both matches comfortably.

Meanwhile, below is the video of Malolan Rangarajan's banter with Kohli:

RCB to play their first home game against the Gujarat Titans

Meanwhile, the storied venue of the Chinnaswamy Stadium will host its first game of the season on April 2, Wednesday as the home side will take on the Gujarat Titans.

The Titans have looked as a lethal side, losing only by 11 runs to the Punjab Kings despite conceding 243 and beat the Mumbai Indians by 36 runs. With the Chinnaswamy Stadium known to produce high scores, one can expect a 200+ score from either sides.

The Royal Challengers notably lead the head to head record between the two sides, winning 3 out of five matches held so far.
