Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli and Delhi Capitals director of cricket Sourav Ganguly were seemingly seen ignoring each other as both teams were shaking hands after their IPL 2023 fixture. Kohli started for RCB as he scored a stunning half-century in 34 balls. On the back of this knock, the Royal Challengers managed to post a 174-run total and then win the game by a 23-run margin.
After the game, both teams came together for the customary handshakes when Virat Kohli and his teammates interacted with the Delhi Capitals’ players. As Kohli neared Ganguly, he had a small conversation with DC head coach Ricky Ponting and in the process missed the handshake with Sourav Ganguly.

With this total, he also became the third-highest runscorer in the tournament behind David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan.
