Virat Kohli and Pat Cummins Stir Up Rivalry with Gripping Chat before SRH vs RCB

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to clash for the second time in the IPL 2024 season. The earlier meeting between the 2 franchises resulted in a 25-run win for the SRH.

Before the clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, two superstars representing the franchises were involved in a fun banter as they trained for the contest.

In a clip shared by RCB on social media, Pat Cummins, who is leading SRH in the ongoing season, can be seen approaching Kohli and telling him how good he has been batting in the nets.

“The coach was saying I was making that wicket look flat. That’s all I heard,” Cummins said.

Kohli responded with a smile before replying, “You’re too good Pat!”

“You’re too good, Pat” 😅No 🤫 needed! A bit of banter ahead of our game tomorrow. 😬
