“Check My Heartbeat”: Virat Kohli’s Mid-Match Gesture To Sanju Samson Sparks Concern, Video Goes Viral

During RCB’s emphatic win over RR, Virat Kohli stunned fans by asking Sanju Samson to check his heartbeat — a light moment or hidden worry?

Jaipur | April 14, 2025:
Virat Kohli might have led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a commanding 9-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2025 clash, but a mid-match moment left fans a little uneasy.

While batting on 54, Kohli suddenly gestured toward Sanju Samson, asking the Rajasthan Royals captain and wicketkeeper to check his heartbeat. In what seemed like a mix of banter and genuine concern, Samson obliged, placing his hand on Kohli’s chest behind the stumps. Kohli touched his own chest again, smiled faintly — and carried on batting.

What Happened?

The incident unfolded right after Kohli reached his T20 career’s 100th half-century with a towering six. As he pushed for a quick double on the next ball, the exertion seemed to catch up momentarily with the 36-year-old veteran.

Though the moment passed quickly, it was caught on camera and immediately went viral, with fans wondering if it was merely a joke — or a subtle sign of fatigue or discomfort.

Match Recap: Kohli, Salt Demolish Royals

Earlier, Phil Salt’s blazing 65 off 33 balls set the platform for RCB’s smooth chase of 174. He and Kohli stitched a 92-run opening stand that took the game away from RR early on.

Even after Salt’s dismissal, Kohli remained composed, guiding RCB home with an unbeaten 62 off 44 balls, alongside Devdutt Padikkal (40*). The duo wrapped up the chase with 15 balls to spare.

Kohli’s knock marked his third fifty of the season and his 100th in T20 cricket, making him only the second cricketer in the world to reach the milestone, just behind David Warner (108 T20 fifties).
