Hyderabad: On the eve of the Southern derby, Royal Challengers Bengaluru star Virat Kohli was seen having a light-hearted banter with Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins. The moment transpired during the training session of both the teams in the evening. Cummins walked upto Kohli and told him that his coach reckons that he was making the pitch look flat. To that, Kohli smiled and said – ‘You are too good, Pat.’

The interaction between the two stalwarts was posted by the RCB official handle. Here is the heartwarming clip that is now going viral on social space.

Meanwhile, RCB has not had a good season. They are at the bottom of the points table with merely one win in eight games. They would like to improve on that when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad tonight at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium. SRH, on the other hand, are at the third spot in the table. A win against RCB will take them to the second spot. Kohli and Cummins will both play a key role in the game as they are big-match players.
