Banters and light-hearted moments are part of cricket’s charm, but occasionally, the tension can boil over. Such was the case during the clash between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Mullanpur, where a heated exchange took place between Virat Kohli and Harpreet Brar.
Although Phil Salt fell early in the first over, it was Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal who took charge during RCB’s chase. The pair steadied the innings and guided the score to 54/1 by the end of the powerplay. With smart strokeplay and sharp running between the wickets, they kept the momentum going, taking RCB to 88/1 at the halfway stage. Amid their composed partnership, a moment of tension unfolded when Kohli and Punjab spinner Harpreet Brar were involved in a fiery exchange.
During the ninth over bowled by Harpreet Brar, Virat Kohli found himself struggling against the Punjab spinner, facing a tough challenge in the matchup. As Brar completed the over, he said something to Kohli, to which the former RCB skipper retorted in Punjabi, “I’ve been playing for twenty years, I know your coach too.” The exchange quickly caught the attention of Twitter, with fans sharing their thoughts on the playful banter.
