In a hilarious post-match twist, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Virat Kohli was on the receiving end of a playful prank by his teammates following their thrilling victory over Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 clash.
The match itself was a nail-biter. RCB pulled off a last-over win, with Kohli anchoring the chase with a solid half-century. But what followed in the dressing room was the real highlight for fans.
The Prank That Caught Kohli Off Guard
As the team walked back into the dressing room, a seemingly serious team meeting was called by skipper Faf du Plessis. Kohli, still in his game zone, was asked to say a few words about the win. Just as he began to speak, the lights suddenly went out — and a loud burst of party poppers filled the room, followed by a surprise cake smash straight to Kohli’s face!
Turns out, it was all a setup to celebrate Kohli’s milestone of 7500 IPL runs — and the team decided to throw in a little mischief for good measure.

Kohli’s Reaction? Pure Gold.
Stunned and covered in cake, Kohli burst out laughing once he realized what had happened. “You guys are mad!” he joked, wiping off frosting while chasing Glenn Maxwell with a towel in hand.
He later posted a selfie on Instagram, still half-covered in cake, captioned: “Tough game, sweet win, and a sweeter prank. Well played, boys #RCB #SquadGoals”
Fans Loved It
Social media exploded with videos of the prank going viral within hours. Fans praised the camaraderie within the RCB camp and how relaxed and united the squad looked this season.
One fan tweeted: “Only RCB can win hearts on and off the field. Kohli’s reaction is priceless! ”
The Vibe is Strong in the RCB Camp
With back-to-back wins and spirits running high, this season feels different for RCB. The dressing room is light, the team looks focused, and the bond between the players — as evident by this prank — is as strong as ever.
As RCB preps for their next game, one thing’s for sure: Virat Kohli may be a fierce competitor on the field, but off it, he’s the ultimate team player who can laugh along — even with cake on his face.
