Former RCB Owner Vijay Mallya Tweets in Support of Virat Kohli Amidst IPL Season

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) owner, Vijay Mallya, recently took to social media to express his support for current RCB captain Virat Kohli during the ongoing IPL season. Mallya’s tweet came amidst the crucial eliminator match between RCB and Rajasthan Royals happening at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22.

Mallya, who currently resides in the United Kingdom, posted on the social media platform, Twitter, stating his admiration for both RCB as a franchise and Kohli as a player. The tweet has sparked reactions from netizens, with many engaging in discussions on various topics related to Mallya’s past and present activities.

Notably, Kingfisher Airlines, an airline company once owned by Mallya, faced allegations of defaulting on loans amounting to Rs. 9,000 crore, leading to legal actions against him. Following these events in 2016, Mallya has been residing in the UK and has faced challenges including the relinquishment of his ownership of RCB.

While Mallya’s tweet expressed his continued support for RCB and Kohli, internet trolls have taken to mocking the former owner, leaving critical and sarcastic comments on his post. The discussion has also delved into topics such as Mallya’s financial dealings and IPL prize money allocation.

On the sports front, Virat Kohli has played a pivotal role for RCB in the ongoing IPL season, leading the team with exceptional batting performances. However, despite Kohli’s impressive form, RCB faced setbacks in the playoffs, leading to their exit from the competition.
