Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the team to beat in IPL 2025, given the fiery form they are in at the moment. After winning their first two matches away from home by comprehensive margins – RCB opened their campaign with a 7-wicket win over KKR and beat CSK by 50 runs – they are now set for their first home game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.

As the fans wait for the big game, there is an anticipation of a face-off between RCB talisman Virat Kohli and his former teammate Mohammed Siraj.

Kohli and Siraj are known to be good friends since their days at RCB. But this season presents a different scenario, with both pitted against each other after Siraj moved to GT following an eight-year stint with RCB. Siraj had been part of RCB since the 2017 season. However, in the IPL 2025 auction, he was picked up by GT.

Before the high-octane clash, the duo shared a light moment, which the Gujarat Titans captured and posted on X. Virat and Siraj were seen having a fun time in practice. After posting the video, they captioned it, “Sach batana, issi ka intezaar kar rahe the na #TitansFAM?” Fans are adoring that moment.

Siraj has always admired Kohli and shared a strong bond with the star batter. As they are set to face each other in IPL 2025, there is anticipation of a good rivalry among the fans.

With GT back to winning ways against Mumbai Indians following their loss against Punjab Kings in the first match, the game offers the chance of a good contest between two in-form teams. With Chinnaswamy Stadium being a high-scoring venue, fans will be eager to see an entertaining clash.
