I n the IPL 2024 cla sh between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, Indian cricketers and childhood friends Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma had a hilarious interaction where one got the better of the other. After winning the toss, the Capitals invited RCB to bat first who got off to a blistering start with King Kohli continuing his stellar run of form.
Kohli's aggressive approach continued despite losing his opening partner and captain Faf du Plessis early. The former Indian was up against his childhood friend Ishant Sharma and got an edge which went for a boundary. Reacting to this Kohli and Sharma had a quick chat.

After this maximum, the next balls were uneventful and then Sharma exacted revenge and managed to dismiss Kohli caught behind. As the 35-year-old walked back to the dressing room, Ishant Sharma jokingly bumped into him and the duo shared a laugh.
Wicket was two-paced when I went in: Rajat Patidar
In the first innings, RCB posted a total of 187 thanks to quality knocks from Will Jacks, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar. Speaking about his 52 in 32 balls with three fours and three sixes, Patidar shared how the wicket was holding up a bit.
He said, "Wicket was two-paced when I went in. Ball was holding, especially the slower ball. Have been smarter in selecting which bowlers to go after in the last few games. I try my best to read it from the hand. This target is defendable. Can defend easily if we bowl in good areas."
