Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs in the Indian Premier League 2024. The Faf du Plessis-led team has qualified for the playoffs in the 17th season.
Virat Kohli played a vital knock of 47 runs 0ff 29 balls and played a crucial role in taking the team’s total to 218/5. He was energetic during the CSK chase and spoke to Captain Faf du Plessis and the bowlers about the strategy and plans.
Former India player Virender Sehwag lauded the legendary cricketer, calling him the powerhouse of energy.
“Faf was RCB’s best batter, but I would give credit to Virat for giving the team an aggressive start. His energy passed on to the other players, and I never saw the franchise players so charged up. It was unbelievable to see how the RCB players reacted,’ Virender Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
Mohammed Shami was also present on the show, and he was requested to tell one of the team hurdle stories about Virat.
Sehwag pulled Shami’s leg, saying the pacer was abused several times by the legendary cricketer.
“Virat is always full of energy and he plays his game like that,” he said. The host of the show urged Shami to tell the story of the hurdle between him and Virat. “It is censored and I can’t tell on the show. Virat gave us full freedom to execute our plans when he was the captain. When the bowlers were not able to follow the pre-discussed plans, Kohli used to come forward with his. And if nothing worked then anyone will say a few words,” the pacer added.
