IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: Virat Kohli Dances On The Field Before The Match — Watch

IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli gave the crowd something to cheer for before the match against Chennai Super Kings

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli seemed to be in a jolly mood ahead of their clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli was walking into the field, grooving to the tunes being played in the stadium. He walked up to his team who were warming up and playing football. Brendon McCullum seemed amused by Kohli’s moves as he picked up the ball from the ground.

CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to field first. Virat Kohli himself opened the batting alongside wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock and got RCB off to a flier. But the 29-year-old’s stay at the crease was cut-short by youngster Shardul Thakur who took his wicket in the powerplay overs.

Kohli made two changes in the side — Colin de Grandhomme making his debut for RCB, replacing Chris Woakes and Pawan Negi replacing Manan Vohra. He also hugged Dhoni when they came for the coin toss and their photo together has been doing rounds on Twitter.
