Cricket fans often find unique ways to celebrate their love for Virat Kohli, and for one Maharashtrian couple, that admiration became part of a deeply personal milestone.
The couple named their newborn son ‘Virat’ and revealed it during a naming ceremony styled around Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), drawing inspiration from the popular IPL franchise.
RCB-Inspired Name Reveal
The video of the ceremony was shared on Instagram by the baby’s mother, Gauri Mahadik, and has since gone viral.
In the clip, the couple unveils their son’s name in a creative way. Instead of announcing it verbally, they reveal it through an RCB jersey. As the jersey is opened, the name ‘Virat’ appears, turning the moment into a highlight of the ceremony.
The simple yet meaningful gesture has resonated with viewers online, with many praising the couple’s creativity.
Cricket Craze Goes Beyond Stadiums
Fans of RCB are known for their imaginative expressions of loyalty, from themed celebrations to personalised tributes—showcasing how deeply cricket is woven into everyday life.
Free Ride for RCB Fans
In a similar display of fandom, a Bengaluru auto-rickshaw driver recently grabbed attention with a unique offer for cricket lovers.
A woman named Mahika Jadhav shared a photo on X showing a handwritten note inside the auto, offering free rides to passengers wearing an RCB jersey during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The note also featured the popular slogan “E sala cup namdu 2.0,” reflecting unwavering support for the team.
The gesture quickly went viral, with many praising the driver’s enthusiasm. For several fans, it highlighted the strong emotional connection people share with their IPL teams.
Moments like these continue to capture the spirit of cricket in India, where fandom often extends far beyond the stadium.
