Watch: Virat Kohli Fulfils "Ab Tu Aa" Prophecy, Takes CSK Pacer Khaleel Ahmed To Cleaners

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stalwart Virat Kohli smashed a half-century against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as RCB pulled out a narrow two-run victory. Kohli showed his aggressive side right from the powerplay, and made his intentions clear by hammering CSK pacer Khaleel Ahmed for back-to-back sixes in the third over of the innings. It also allowed Kohli to fulfil his prophecy from before, as he had warned Khaleel earlier in the season during an altercation from the first time these two sides met.

On March 28, during the first meeting between CSK and RCB in IPL 2025, pacer Khaleel Ahmed had started celebrating Virat Kohli's wicket even though the latter hadn't been given out.

Following that, Kohli had seemingly jokingly warned the pacer that he would dish out the treatment on the field when they meet next.

"Ab tu aa (You come once again)," Kohli had told Khaleel, hinting that he would not spare the pacer the next time they met.

Kohli's performance on Saturday ensured that his prophecy came true. The 36-year-old clobbered Khaleel for two consecutive sixes to finish off the third over of RCB's innings.

KING REMEMBERS!
