As the IPL 2023 heats up, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team is facing a challenge with their captain, Faf du Plessis, not being entirely fit for the last few games. The South African batsman has been playing as an impact player during batting due to his injury, while Virat Kohli has taken on the role of stand-in captain.
The funny side of Virat Kohli
Despite his injury, Faf du Plessis has been dedicated to the practice sessions, and in one such rigorous training session, Virat Kohli was seen in his playful and mischievous self. The former Indian captain was spotted trying to imitate the batting stance of Faf du Plessis, much to the amusement of his teammates.
The incident took place during the team’s practice session in the lead-up to their next match against the Lucknow Super Giants on 1st May, and it brought some much-needed levity to the team. Kohli, known for his playful antics on and off the field, was seen mimicking the South African batsman’s stance, much to the delight of the RCB team.
Faf expected to come back
The incident has been widely shared on social media, with fans of RCB and Kohli praising the former Indian captain’s humorous side. However, it also highlights the team’s challenge with Faf du Plessis’ injury and the importance of Kohli’s leadership in his absence.
RCB have had a mixed season so far, with 4 wins and 4 losses. They are currently in the 5th place in the Points Table with 8 points. The team will be looking to bounce back in their next game against the Lucknow Super Giants after facing a defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game. With Kohli at the helm, they will be hoping to turn their fortunes around. However, the team is also hopeful of the return of their regular captain Faf du Plessis for the next game.
