Virat Kohli is one of the most admired cricketers in world cricket for his excellent stature as one of the best batsmen in the world.
However, the reach of his popularity is so deep-rooted even in fellow cricketers that they haven’t shied away from posting it in social media.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s latest recruit, Wanindu Hasaranga found himself in the thick of Indian cricket fans’ love as his old tweets about Virat Kohli went viral.
The spinner who brought down the Indian team with an extraordinary display of spin, Hasaranga was snapped up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the latest edition of the tournament.
He would be the replacement for Adam Zampa after the Australian spinner decided to pull out of the remainder of the tournament.
Here are the Instagram posts that Hasaranga dedicated to Virat Kohli:

On Saturday, Bangalore made a few important announcements with Dusmantha Chameera, Hasaranga and Tim David being onboarded for the second part of the tournament.
Wanindu Hasaranga impressed everyone with his fiery brand of bowling against India. Chameera pulled off a decent showdown to derail India’s hopes. Tim David has been brilliant in the BBL and the other franchise tournaments that he has so far been a part of.
Another important change that happened for RCB was the switch of personnel in management, with Mike Hesson taking over the reins of the team.
RCB will be beginning their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders at Abu Dhabi on 20th September.
The IPL will also serve as the predecessor to the T20 Cricket World Cup that will also witness Kohli and Hasaranga duking it out for their respective nations.
RCB is currently in the third position with 5 victories from 7 matches. They are tied in terms or points with Chennai Super Kings, however, their NRR has pegged them to the third spot.
