RCB may never have won an IPL title but one area they have bossed like no other IPL franchise is social media. According to a survey in January, RCB is the most popular Indian sports team on Instagram, with 948 million impressions. Irrespective of their performances in their field, RCB have carved a niche on social media, and are being led by the ultra-unique pairing of Virat Kohli and Mr Nags.
Virat Kohli said in the RCB Insider show –
“Our social media performance is miles ahead of everyone. Get a trophy there, then watch. You bring one social media trophy and see how RCB will win. No competition only. Two weeks into the tournament, we will win. Don’t need to play the last few games; 4-5 enough.” Kohli believes that if there was ever a social media trophy, RCB would be clear winners and by quite some distance.
Kohli and Mr. Nags’ interview from IPL 2022 became an instant hit, where the former RCB captain reflected on his poor form from last year and opened up on scoring three first-ball ducks. Outside of Kohli’s form, Virat and Mr. Nags had a fun conversation away from the seriousness of cricket and everytime these two come together in a single frame, entertainment is guaranteed.
Virat Kohli added –
“This is big franchise pressure. Lot of people take it as all fun and games like ‘This team doesn’t win’. Come and play, when there are so many expectations. We’re a big team. Otherwise why would we have so many so fans if we were some faaltu team.”
