Pacer Naman Tiwari, who was bought by LSG for ₹1 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, called Virat Kohli his idol and said the RCB batter is his dream wicket. "I want people to know me because of my performance, not because I'm a fan," the 20-year-old stated. Tiwari added, "It feels really good to join such a big franchise."
