Young Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling sensation Vipraj Nigam relished a moment that he would never forget in IPL 2025— getting the wicket of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Virat Kohli.

The leg-spinner had removed Kohli in the seventh over of RCB’s innings. Kohli was caught by Mitchell Starc, who came running from long-off. That was a significant blow for the now defending IPL champions, who were 74/3 and could only post a total of 163/7. Vipraj, who was acquired for INR 50 lakh, was playing his maiden IPL season. He finished the season with 11 wickets from 14 matches.

The 21-year-old further spoke on his experience of playing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

However, he ended up conceding just two runs from his next over, but despite that, the pressure was still on him with Virat Kohli out there.

For Vipraj, the fact that he dismissed Virat Kohli in an IPL match took time for him to sink in. He even recalled how the Chinnaswamy Stadium went silent after Kohli’s wicket.

Delhi Capitals went onto beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets, with KL Rahul scoring an unbeaten 93. Both teams went onto have contrasting fortunes in IPL 2025. While the Axar Patel-led side were eliminated from the league stage, RCB went onto clinch their maiden IPL title by beating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final.
