IPL 2024 SRH vs RCB: Virat Kohli’s Supportive Gesture Towards Pat Cummins Caught on Camera
Virat Kohli had a heartwarming conversation with Pat Cummins ahead of the mouth-watering clash between SRH and RCB at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, April 25. The 2 teams will be facing each other for the 2nd time this season after a record-breaking outing last time out in Bengaluru. In a video shared by RCB’s official social media handle, Kohli and Cummins were seen interacting with each other. The two shared a light-hearted conversation during a practice session on the eve of the high-octane match. Cummins was all pad-up as he came towards Kohli, who was sitting on the ground with his pad.
“You’re too good, Pat” 😅
No 🤫 needed! A bit of banter ahead of our game tomorrow. 😬

RCB’s star player seemed to be catching a break with some munchies by his side during the intense practice session. The veterans shook hands and were all smiles. Cummins mentioned how the coach was saying that he made the wicket look flat, to which Kohli replied, how good the SRH captain is.
“Coach was saying I was making that wicket look flat. That’s all I heard,” Cummins said.

“You are too good Pat,” Kohli responded.
Both showed mutual love and respect for their respective countries as well as franchises as the 2 flag bearers of the game. However, Cummins also gave Kohli a sly warning about what to expect at the batting paradise in Hyderabad. A special video of Kohli and Cummins was also shared on the SRH team’s official social media handle, where they were seen batting side-by-side in the nets. RCB are at the bottom of the table with just 1 win in 8 matches. Meanwhile, Cummins-led SRH are riding high on confidence, breaking record after record. SRH is at number 3 in the points table with 5 wins from 7 matches.
Records abounded in their first match of the season as they scored more than 500 runs for the second time in IPL history.
