'I won the toss?' - Virat Kohli produces an epic moment at the toss before RCB vs RR game

Before the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Virat Kohli and Sanju Samson were involved in a hilarious moment. During the toss time, Kohli, the RCB skipper, forgot that he won the toss.

Lost in his own thoughts and imaginations, he stepped back, letting Sanju Samson make the decision. However, he woke up to the fact that he won the toss. “Hey, I won the toss,” Kohli said. Ian Bishop, who conducted the toss, was left in splits.

All three of them saw the funnier side of things. In the end, it was Kohli, who elected to field first on a brilliant batting surface at the iconic venue. The video was posted on the official Twitter handle of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Virat Kohli and RCB make one change

The Challengers are yet to lose a single match and have won all their three games in the cash-rich league. Going into their fourth game, they left out Rajat Patidar and brought in Australian fast bowler Kane Richardson. About the game, Virat said that the RCB has the batting to track any steep target down in Mumbai.

“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 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 said.

The Royals, on the other hand, are placed seventh with one win from three games. While Samson understands that ‘ups and downs’ are bound to happen, he’s confident of his team making a comeback. The Royals replaced pacer Jaydev Unadkat with leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal.

“Will be a good experience for the batsmen to bat first. Saw the last game it can get tight in the end. It’s evenly balanced, we just need to play some good cricket. It’s all about playing with the heart. Ups and downs are going to happen in IPL.

“Important to trust yourself and trust your teammates. There’s nothing much to think about. Just back yourself. One change, Gopal replaces Unadkat,” Samson said.
