NEW DELHI: Suresh Raina conveys his heartfelt wishes to Virat Kohli as the formidable Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) gear up for a pivotal Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter against the resilient Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a match that holds the potential to make or break their aspirations in the tournament.
Ahead of the highly anticipated match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Raina, who was present at the stadium for his broadcasting duties, had a heartwarming reunion with his former India teammate, Kohli.
The two cricket stars, who have shared numerous memorable moments on the field, came together before the crucial RCB-CSK clash.
During their meeting, Raina expressed his affection for Kohli, referring to him as his 'brother'.
The gesture highlighted the strong bond and camaraderie that the two players have developed over the years, having represented India together in numerous international matches.

Former CSK veteran Raina also took the opportunity to convey his best wishes to Kohli for the upcoming game, showcasing the sportsmanship and mutual respect between the two cricketers.
Following CSK's impressive victory against RCB in the tournament opener, both teams are now set to battle it out for a coveted playoff spot.
For RCB to secure IPL 2024 play-off spot:
After LSG lost to DC on Tuesday, RCB now need to secure a victory against CSK in their last league game by either:
- Winning by 18 runs.
- Chasing the target within 18.1 overs.
This is necessary to surpass CSK's Net Run Rate (NRR).
How can RCB and CSK qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs?
- If SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad) loses both of their matches then both CSK and RCB have a chance to qualify.
- RCB's qualification hinges on winning their last match, regardless of their Net Run Rate.
