It depicts fans taking cover beneath the banner of Virat Kohli as they made their way out of the stadium following the postponement of the match. This incident has sparked a humorous response from fans, with many jokingly claiming that Kohli always comes to the rescue when Indian cricket fans find themselves in trouble.

Kohli and RCB knocked out of IPL 2023 Playoffs
In the context of the IPL 2023 season, Kohli’s team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), had been eliminated from the tournament after a loss to the Gujarat Titans in their last match. Despite their exit, Kohli’s popularity and influence remain significant, as evidenced by the viral image depicting fans seeking solace under his banner.
Regarding the IPL 2023 Final, the teams of CSK and GT have secured their places in the much-anticipated clash, which has been rescheduled for May 29th. However, rain remains a concern even on the Reserve Day. The cut-off time for a full match is set at 9:35 PM, and if a mere five overs are possible, the cut-off time extends to 12:05 AM. In the event that no play is possible, GT, being the table-toppers during the league stage, would be declared the winners.
As the image of fans sheltering beneath Virat Kohli’s banner circulates online, it serves as a lighthearted reminder of his enduring popularity and the support he commands from cricket enthusiasts. Despite his team’s exit from the tournament, Kohli’s influence remains strong, symbolized by the amusing image that has captured the attention of social media users.
