You are too talented. Pat: Virat Kohli’s endearing exchange with the crowd before SRH vs. RCB

Before Thursday’s tantalizing match between SRH and RCB at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Virat Kohli had a heartfelt conversation with Pat Cummins. This season’s second meeting between the two clubs will take place after their historic victory in Bengaluru last time around.

A video that was posted on the RCB’s official social media account showed Kohli and Cummins chatting. On the eve of the intense battle, the two had a lighthearted talk during the practice. With his pads on, Kohli was sitting on the ground when Cummins, decked out in pads, approached.

The great RCB player seemed to be enjoying some snacks while taking a break from his rigorous practice regimen. The old guard shook hands and grinned broadly. When Cummins brought up the coach’s criticism that he was making the wicket seem flat, Kohli answered by praising the skill of the SRH skipper.

“I was making that wicket appear flat, the coach said. All I heard was that,” Cummins said.

As two of the game’s ambassadors for their respective nations and teams, the couple showed affection and respect for one another. But Cummins also sent Kohli a subtle warning about what to anticipate on the Hyderabad-hit paradise.

Additionally, a unique video of Kohli and Cummins hitting in tandem in the nets was posted on the SRH team’s official social media account.

With just one victory in eight games, RCB is buried at the bottom of the standings. The SRH, headed by Cummins, have been playing with immense confidence as they break record after record. SRH, having won five of their last seven games, are ranked third in the points standings.

In their first match of the season, they broke several records as they scored more than 500 runs for the second time in IPL history.
