As per the report A serious security threat aimed at Virat Kohli prompts RCB to cancel practice
As the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are getting ready for the IPL 2024 Eliminator contest against the Rajasthan Royals, a report has claimed that the franchise had to cancel its only practice session before the start of the match due to a security concern. The concern arose over the security of Virat Kohli, prompting RCB to abandon the practice session.
According to the report, the franchise didn’t even hold a press conference on the eve of the Eliminator match against the Royals due to the security threat, prompting many to leave flummoxed over the unusual development.
As per the report, the Gujarat Police hinted that the primary reason behind the cancellation of the practice session and the press conference was Virat’s security. The police also reportedly arrested four people from Ahmedabad on suspicion of terrorist activity.
Vijay SinghaJwala, a police officer, said, “Virat Kohli learned about the arrests after arriving in Ahmedabad. He is a national treasure, and his security is our utmost priority. RCB did not want to take a risk. They informed us that there would be no practice session. Rajasthan Royals were also informed about the development, but they had no problems going ahead with their practice.”
