Ahead of the much-anticipated clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2024, a lighthearted moment between Virat Kohli and Avesh Khan has caught the attention of cricket fans. The amusing encounter took place during a practice session as both teams gear up for their upcoming match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6.
In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals on social media, Virat Kohli can be seen playfully teasing Avesh Khan with the words, “Aaja, aaja. Ummmm… aisa mouka phir kahan milega. (Come, come. When am I going to get such a chance again?)” before sharing a warm hug with the pacer.
The camaraderie between Kohli and Avesh adds a touch of light-heartedness to the intense build-up of the IPL clash.
The banter between the two players comes in the backdrop of their previous encounters during IPL 2023, where both found themselves in the spotlight for different reasons.
In a thrilling match between RCB and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Avesh Khan, then playing for LSG, celebrated his team’s victory by throwing his helmet on the ground in excitement. However, his actions led to a hefty fine, sparking a debate in cricketing circles.
In the subsequent match between RCB and LSG, tensions flared as Kohli expressed his frustration after RCB’s victory, resulting in a confrontation with LSG player Naveen-ul-Haq and mentor Gautam Gambhir. The incident became one of the major talking points of IPL 2023.
As RCB currently find themselves at the bottom of the table in the IPL 2024 standings, the upcoming match against high-flying Rajasthan Royals poses a significant challenge. Despite Rajasthan’s impressive run so far, both teams will be aiming for a crucial victory to turn their fortunes around in the tournament.
With both sides eager to make an impact, the RR vs RCB clash promises to be an exciting spectacle for cricket fans worldwide.
