KKR Fans ‘Heartbroken’ as Phil Salt Joins RCB—‘Bewafa Sonam’ Goes Viral!

KKR vs RCB: A Rivalry Rekindled with ‘Salty’ Banter

The sight of Salt in a jersey that leaned more toward red than blue was bound to trigger fresh murmurs of discontent among the passionate fanbase. Clips showcasing the camaraderie between Kohli and Salt, as well as Salt-li edits, have been widely circulated on social media. Then, this post was shared, and the fans responded in full force. Moreover, the nickname ‘Salty’ seamlessly fits into this unfolding narrative. 

A statement allegedly made by an RCB supporter, suggesting that KKR’s fanbase is restricted to Eden Gardens.

A prompt retort was delivered:

An alleged KKR supporter remarked, “RCB’s trophies exist only in dreams.”

While three championships were scored by KKR over the 18-year span of the IPL, RCB has yet to claim a title, though they remain hopeful that season 18 will be their breakthrough year, as Kohli dons Jersey No. 18.

It must also be remembered that the first-ever IPL match was contested between KKR and RCB, during which Brendon McCullum set the league alight with an unforgettable innings.
