IPL 2024: [Watch] Virat Kohli Takes Revenge, Mocks Avesh Khan for Helmet Throw Celebration After Hitting Boundary

Virat Kohli emulated Avesh Khan’s helmet throw celebration.

Virat Kohli took a revenge on Avesh Khan by mimicking his helmet throw celebration after striking a boundary in the recent IPL 2024 match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Avesh Khan, a member of Lucknow Super Giants in the prior IPL season, celebrated with a helmet throw after clinching a nail-biting one-wicket victory over RCB at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

That specific match stood out as the most controversial of the entire last season, featuring an intense face off between Naveen-Ul-Haq and Virat Kohli, followed by escalating tensions between the then LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli.

Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-Ul-Haq recently shared that Virat Kohli was unhappy with Avesh Khan’s helmet celebration at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, which ultimately triggered the controversy and tensions that unfolded in Lucknow.

It’s possible that Virat Kohli’s helmet throw celebration was all in good fun, especially considering his earlier interaction with Avesh Khan during a practice session, where they were spotted hugging and having fun together.
