Virat Kohli and Sanju Samson shared a hilarious second simply moments forward of the Indian Premier League conflict between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals on the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
The incident happened proper after the toss, which Virat Kohli received, however for a quick interval did not realise as he pushed Sanju, the newly appointed Rajasthan skipper, to make the choice. However, Ian Bishop then identified to Kohli that it was him who received the toss, after which the RCB skipper seemed bemused, acknowledging his earlier report at winning the toss.
Kohli then opted to subject and mentioned his staff is assured on chasing down any goal at this venue. Here is the video:

“Have seen results here whether there’s dew or not. Still continues to be a high scoring ground. Last night we saw even if you lose early wickets, just one partnership and you’re never far in the game. Been batting well as a group. Confident we can chase anything down. At the same time we’re bowling well as well. Just want to get into this pitch and conditions with the new ball and try and exploit whatever we can,” Kohli mentioned in the course of the toss.
This might be RCB’s first match on the Wankhede after earlier taking part in all their earlier clashes at Chennai’s Chepauk. Sharing his ideas on the brand new situations in Mumbai, Kohli mentioned: “Very exciting for me as a batsman but the bowlers will have to adjust. Good thing is we have bowlers with height who can swing the new ball. Will look to make the most of that new ball. Have experienced conditions totally opposite in Chennai. This game and this venue allows us to play even more expressive and positive cricket.”
Meanwhile, RCB made one change in their taking part in XI from their earlier encounter as Kane Richardson was introduced in place of Rajat Patidar.
