Virat Kohli sent an important message for partner in crime Phil Salt after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph on Tuesday beating Punjab Kings in the final in Ahmedabad. Chasing RCB’s 190/9, Punjab Kings fell six runs short.
Following the win, Kohli took to Instagram to give a shoutout to his opening partner at RCB Salt. “Well done partner. Now go back to the real stuff and get ready for changing diapers.” Kohli wrote on his Instagram story with the photo of the two with the IPL trophy in hand.
Kohli’s remarks came after Englishman Salt became a father recently. The right-hander flew back home to be by his wife after RCB’s Qualifier 1 win on May 29 only to return on the morning of the final game.
