‘King Kohli talking to the Prince of Rajasthan’ – Fans react to Virat Kohli having chat with Yashasvi Jaiswal after RR vs RCB clash

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced off on Sunday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After the game, young RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen having a chat with RCB starlet Virat Kohli. Perhaps, the veteran was giving some valuable advice to the RR opener.

In the end, the game was won by the away team, Royal Challengers Bangalore after RR put on a terrible batting display at home, scoring just 59 runs in 10.3 overs, and RCB engineered a 112-run victory to increase their chances of entering the playoffs.

Yashasvi had the opportunity to display his abilities in front of the modern era’s greatest player in Jaipur, shortly after his incredible 98-run knock that earned Kohli a tonne of praise. However, he got dismissed for a two-ball duck, and Kohli completed the dismissal via a catch to the second delivery of RR’s chase.

However, the 21-year-old was able to speak with Kohli, and the former RCB skipper invested a significant amount of time. Later, IPL posted a picture of the duo having a conversation along with a caption, “As special as it gets. 𝘼𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ft. @imVkohli & @ybj_19.”

While speaking with Jio Cinema and watching the tape, former India player Aakash Chopra concluded that they aren’t discussing the game but rather Kohli is offering him advice on how to improve so that he can make the Indian team.

Yashasvi scored a game-winning 98 versus Kolkata Knight Riders earlier this week at the Eden Gardens, and Kohli praised the RR superstar on his Instagram story. Kohli had posted a story as he said, “Wow, this is some of the best batting I’ve seen in a while. What a talent, Yashasvi Jaiswal.” The 21-year-old was shocked to learn about the post on social media later on from friend Yuzvendra Chahal, and he later congratulated Kohli on Instagram.

Don't compare Jaiswal to others , from his innings he has created his own identity, he'll become the first 'Jaiswal ' of Indian cricket soon
