As Punjab Kings geared up to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Dharamsala, Virat Kohli pulled off something incredible. The RCB star, who has been in fine form this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, holding the Orange Cap at the moment, left fans ROFL with his witty side. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Kohli engaged in a friendly banter with PBKS pacer Kagiso Rabada while the latter was busy with his podcast.
In the video, Rabada was seen participating in a chat on the ‘Willow Talk Podcast’, when he spotted Kohli dancing in front of him. A few seconds later, the RCB star gatecrashed his podcast and then entertained the viewers with his hilarious one-liners.

As the conversation went ahead, Rabada joked by saying that Kohli considers him a “weak bowler”.
The battle between Rabada and Kohli will be in focus during the match between PBKS and RCB in Dharamsala.
So far in IPL 2024, Kohli has amassed a total of 634 runs in 12 matches and is currently the highest run-scorer. His tally includes five half-centuries and one century with a strike rate of 148.09.
On the other hand, Rabada is having a good season as he has managed to scalp 11 wickets in as many matches. His bowling average is 33.81 while his economy is 8.85.
With 10 points from 12 games, RCB can still make the playoffs if they win all their remaining two fixtures although the chances are slim.
PBKS, however, have been eliminated from the race for the playoffs, with the defeat against RCB proving to be the final nail in the coffin for them.
