Both Kohli and Rohit are among the greatest of the game who have had success in both international and franchise cricket. The two are set to clash as Mumbai Indians host RCB at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on April 7.
In a video posted by the RCB franchise, the 36-year-old has also talked about the insights, queries, and bond he shares with Rohit throughout the years as well.
“I think it's a very natural thing to take place when you play with someone for so long and you share so much of your insight of the game initially, your learning from each other, you're kind of growing in your careers at probably the same time, and you share all kind of queries and questions,” Kohli said in a video posted on X (Formerly known as Twitter)
“So there's a lot of back and forth that happens and also the fact that, you know, we worked very closely in terms of the leadership for the team, so there were always ideas discussed and more or less, we would end up on the same page in terms of the gut feel of that situation - there is a trust factor and do the job for the team,” the former India skipper added.
