He concluded the post by sharing, “This isn’t just a win. It’s a love story sealed with glory”. It is critical to note that in his post, Suniel Shetty, whose son-in-law, KL Rahul, also plays in the IPL, has skipped the mention of all other players of RCB in his congratulatory post. He did not even make a mention of the captain, Rajat Patidar. Some social media users have called out the veteran star for snubbing other team members. While his fans have advocated that Virat deserves a special mention since he has played with the Royal Challengers Bangalore for 18 years before finally lifting the trophy this year.
