Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is gearing up for the IPL 2024 season, and captain Faf du Plessis’ comments about teammate Virat Kohli have added a lighthearted touch to the pre-season buzz.
Faf du Plessis-Virat Kohli: A Winning Partnership?
Faf du Plessis revealed that he and Virat Kohli share a strong bond built on shared interests. “We spend a lot of time in the gym together,” he said while talking on Star Sports. “We both love food and we talk a lot about fashion as well.”
Virat Kohli a ‘Terrible Influence’
However, the captain added a playful jab. “He has been a terrible influence on me when it comes to watches,” du Plessis chuckled. This lighthearted comment suggests a close friendship between the two players.
Virat Kohli back in action in IPL 2024
Kohli will be returning to the field after a two-and-a-half-month break to focus on his family. Fans are excited to see him back in action, especially after the birth of his second child in February.
Strong Bond Key to On-Field Success
Du Plessis, known for his fitness regime even at 39, mentioned their shared passion for fitness as a key factor in their on-field understanding. Their good rapport could translate into a successful partnership at the crease for RCB.
RCB Seeks Improvement with Cameron Green in Mix
While RCB finished sixth under du Plessis’ leadership last season, the team is looking to climb the ladder in 2024. The addition of the in-form Australian all-rounder Cameron Green bolsters their chances.
With a strong bond between Kohli and du Plessis, a dash of friendly competition over watches, and a talented squad, RCB promises to be an exciting team to watch this IPL season.
