Virat Kohli tries out ‘blindfold challenge’ with RCB teammates, gets surprised by Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri

Ace India batter and Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli recently took part in a blindfold challenge as the 34-year-old attempted to identify his teammates. But the surprise element was the inclusion of Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri in the fun activity as Kohli tried identifying him.

The video of the challenge was posted by Royal Challengers Bangalore on their Instagram handle. In the video, Kohli kicked the challenge off by successfully guessing Dinesh Karthik. Furthermore, the 34-year-old moved on to correctly identifying Mohammed Siraj by his wristwatch, and skipper Faf du Plessis by his tattoos on the left arm and also the wristwatch.

In the end, he attempted to guess Sunil Chhetri. Due to the fact that the footballer was not wearing any accessories, Kohli had a tough time guessing. However, after being told that the player was a quick all-rounder, Kohli broke down in laughter after he realised it wasn't any cricketer from his team, but ace football player Chhetri, as both shared a lighthearted moment.

Virat Kohli’s form propelled RCB to scintillating win against PBKS

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Virat Kohli has been in sensational form for Royal Challengers Bangalore. With 279 runs in six IPL games and four half-centuries to his name, Kohli has been running riots in the tournament.

His most recent performance came against the Sam Curran-led Punjab Kings when both sides took each other on in the 27th game of the tournament on Thursday, April 20 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

Coming in to bat first after losing the toss, stand-in skipper Virat Kohli amassed 59 runs in 47 balls to get the visitors off to a brilliant start. Furthermore, Faf du Plessis scored 84 runs in 56 balls as Bangalore posted 174 runs after the first innings. 

In the second innings, Mohammed Siraj was exceptional as the Indian pacer took four wickets and conceded just 21 runs in the four overs he bowled, with Wanindu Hasaranga picking up two as well. Prabhsimran Singh was the highest run-getter for Punjab as he scored 46 runs in 30 deliveries. However, the knock was in vain, as Bangalore won the game by 24 runs.
