After RCB’s 18-run triumph over LSG in an IPL 2022 match, Virat Kohli utilises WWE legend The Undertaker’s iconic allusion

Virat Kohli is a huge WWE fan and often makes references about the pro wrestling company. During the India vs South Africa Test series, Kohli famously used WWE superstar The Rock’s epic catchphrase ‘Finally, The Rock has come back’ when he saw Jasprit Bumrah return to the field after going off injured.

Social media captures dressing room scenes between Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Under the pump again and you come back again. We are like The Undertaker, says Kohli.

The video shows him laughing as teammate Mohammed Siraj attempts to sing the Indian Premier League anthem. In the seven matches played so far, Kohli has scored 119 runs with a best of 48 against Mumbai Indians.

DK has amassed 210 runs from seven games at a jaw-dropping average of 210. The only time he was dismissed was for 34 against Chennai Super Kings.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
