Virat Kohli shared a hilarious moment with Sunil Narine during the IPL 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday and the video of the incident has gone viral on social media. Kohli gave an impression to the fans that he will be bowling the first over for RCB when he started warming up after giving his hat to the umpire. Although he did not bowl the first over, he hilariously taunted KKR opener Sunil Narine by replicating WWE star The Undertaker’s ‘slit throat’ gesture leaving both the all-rounder and the fans in splits.
Earlier, RCB made three changes to their playing XI – Cameron Green in place of Reece Topley, Karn Sharma in place of Vyshak Vijaykumar and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj replaced Shivam Chauhan.

“We will chase. This is probably a chasing ground, always has been. I’m a fan of batting first when it’s really hot, but the temperature did drop after an hour or so yesterday, unlike in Mumbai or Chennai where it stays very hot. The batting is so strong that a general score or 60-70 isn’t considered great during the batting PP. We have three changes – Green and Siraj come back, so does Karn Sharma. We know if we do a few things back, the momentum can be back and we do have the firepower,” RCB skipper Faf Du Plessis said at the toss.
