NEW DELHI: During a particular game, two players engaged in fun banter on a couple of occasions is rare. But the
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
vs Delhi Capitals match witnessed two friendly banters between
Virat Kohli
and
Ishant Sharma
who share a strong camaraderie both on and off the cricket field.
The first incident happened when Kohli smashed Ishant for a four and six in the fourth over but the lanky pacer had the last laugh by dismissing the former RCB captain.
Ishant tickled his funny bone as he playfully tugged at Kohli in celebration, who accepted it with a slight smile and head bowed.
Kohli scored 27 off 13 balls with the help of 3 sixes and a four.
Later, it was Kohli's turn to respond to Ishant when he came out to bat during Delhi's chase. The former RCB captain showcased his humorous side and playfully teased his longtime friend.
These two cricketers have played together for many years, building a rapport that transcends the sport. They often engage in friendly banter, but their respect for each other's abilities is clear.
RCB kept their playoff dreams intact through Rajat Patidar's blazing fifty and a strong-willed effort from the bowlers, who set up the hosts' 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals.
