New Delhi: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosted their Unbox 2025 event on Monday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm as devoted RCB fans experienced a festive day of enjoyment with their cricketing heroes. This initiative by the franchise offers a valuable chance for fans to engage with the players before the IPL season begins. In this upcoming season Rajat Patidar will take on the role of captain while star player Virat Kohli continues to be the main draw for the team. At the RCB Unbox event a funny incident occurred when England batsman Phil Salt accidentally hit Kohli on the head with a ball. This happened while the players were doing a lap around the stadium tossing balls into the audience to express their gratitude for the fans continued support. During the event one of the balls thrown by Salt accidentally struck Kohli on the head. Upon realizing that Salt was responsible for the incident Kohli humorously jumped and embraced the English player surprising the spectators. I just saw Virat in my eye-line. An honestly I just got him so nicely in the side of the head. He literally got whiplashed looking around for me. And… I dont know who was pointing at me he thought it was someone else and then his eyes turned to me and he looked serious said Salt in a video shared by RCB. I wasnt sticking around! I tried to get straight out of there but he was on me in no time at all. If theres footage of that itll be very very funny he added. Under the leadership of captain Rajat Patidar the team performed a lap of honor to show appreciation for their dedicated fan base acknowledging their steadfast support and loyalty. Following this the excited audience enjoyed an energetic musical performance by Hanumankind a well-known rapper in India.
