Faf du Plessis Jokingly Admits: ‘Virat Kohli Has Been a Terrible Influence On Me

The captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Faf du Plessis, believes that the key to Virat Kohli’s incredible on-field performance and equally rewarding off-field combination is the man’s contagious energy, which radiates to everyone. It’s an “unbelievable experience” to bat with the prolific right-hander, according to Du Plessis, who assumed captaincy of the squad after Kohli opted to step down at the end of 2021. It’s amazing to bat alongside him. He’s one of my favorite players when it comes to batting. Because he gets so emotional while playing in the middle of the field, he often makes me feel like I’m fist bumping my glove through his hand,” Du Plessis said to “Star Sports.”

“It’s infectious the way he gives that energy… how this guy is always on and how does he manage it…on the field, while catching balls, we both are very competitive and make sure we get those good catches for the team,” the muscular right-hander said. Even though he isn’t the captain anymore, Du Plessis still values Kohli’s contributions and his part in boosting the energy of the fielding unit. “In terms of field placements, I think he is incredibly important to me. The former South African captain stated, “He leads in so many areas as a team, but in fielding, he sets the tone and energy on the field.” Du Plessis referred to Kohli as “a terrible influence” on him off the field. We also spend a lot of time talking about fashion and food because we both adore those things. We will send each other images of our ensembles to show each other how we wear different styles of clothing. In terms of watches, he has had a bad influence on me, but he truly loves watches. “But with this so many things, obviously now its family; he got a daughter and I got two daughters; he got a second child now as well.”

Maxwell is showing his full potential now

ADu Plessis talked about how the “Big Show” has changed over the past few seasons to become a more dependable performer for RCB in an interview with Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell scored 400 and 301 runs in the two seasons before 2021, when he scored 513 runs. When examining his stats, it is important to consider that he is the team’s designated finisher, ranking No. 5 or 6. “Maxim has undoubtedly benefited greatly from his stint at RCB in terms of IPL cricket. “I think we never really saw the full potential of Glenn Maxwell before the IPL; he always had these little, amazing innings, but it was very in between, like it would be an amazing 80 or 90, but then there would be a few low scores,” he stated. Du Plessis’s performance against the spinners in Maxwell’s game is noteworthy. However, I believe RCB has truly found consistency with him. He’s been fantastic the past two years, and I can tell you that, especially against spinners, batting with him last year made my job much simpler.

Virat Kohli Teases Shubman Gill in Friendly Banter Ahead of IPL 2024 Clash

Virat Kohli Teases Shubman Gill in Friendly Banter Ahead of IPL 2024 Clash

Shubman Gill, who has been playing spotty cricket lately, was left out of the 15-man Team India roster for the forthcoming T20 World Cup. The Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal gained a position in the 15-man roster, and the Gujarat Titans captain was placed on the reserves list. Gill startled India teammate Virat Kohli by showing up early for practice as GT prepared for their next match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The RCB star jokes, “Badi jaldi aaya practice mei (You came so early for practice)!” as Gill greets Kohli in a widely shared video that GT on X posted.

As Kohli played the senior and laughed with Gill, his junior, in the video, their friendliness and camaraderie were clearly evident. The video is available here: Gill has scored 320 runs at a strike average of 140.96 in 10 games in the IPL 2024. It seems unlikely that he will win the Orange Cap race this season, as he is now ranked 15th. He ended as GT’s runner-up last year, winning the Orange Cap with 890 runs in 17 games. Gill also hammered three tons and four fifties during a season to remember. However, he has only amassed two half-centuries this season, and in his team’s most recent match—which was again against RCB—he was dismissed for 16 off 19 balls.

Gill was passed over by the selectors for the 15-man roster, which may also have something to do with Kohli’s humorous demeanor. The opener hasn’t been the same since getting dengue early in the ODI World Cup last year, and he needs to grow up a bit to be GT’s captain. After Hardik Pandya unexpectedly returned to the Mumbai Indians before the auction last year, he was given the position. After being let go by MI in 2022, Pandya joined GT and was promoted to captain. Following a runner-up finish in their first season, he guided them to the championship. Thus, Gill felt a lot of pressure when he assumed the role. However, with eight points from ten games, GT is currently ninth in the IPL 2024 points standings, so he will be disappointed in himself. They are currently in a two-match losing slump and will be trying to get back to winning ways as time runs out.

Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Mahi’ Promotion Steals Spotlight at IPL Match: Not MS Dhoni!

Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Mahi’ Promotion Steals Spotlight at IPL Match: Not MS Dhoni!

At Friday’s Indian Premier League game in Mumbai, Janhvi Kapoor gave “Mahi” a promotion. It wasn’t MS Dhoni who was playing. Janhvi was sporting a blue T-shirt during the Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Mumbai Indians game. But what caught everyone’s eye on her T-shirt was the words, not the color.

Janhvi promotes ‘Mahi’

The star posted brief videos of her experience at the match on her Instagram account on Friday. She shared pictures of herself with Sharan Sharma, the director of Gunjan Saxena, and selfies that she had taken in the car. The post’s caption read, “Mahi’s day out… There, @rajkummar_rao, you were missed by Mr. Mahi. Her striking ensemble, which featured ‘Mahi’ prominently, was striking. “Cricket is life, and life is cricket” was written on the shirt’s back. The Mahi on her T-shirt was a reference to her upcoming cricket movie, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, which is scheduled to open in theaters on May 31, rather than MS Dhoni.

Janhvi

Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, which is helmed by Sharan Sharma, who is well-known for directing Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, is Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s second joint venture following their lucrative run in Roohi. Dharma Productions, led by Karan Johar, is supporting it. Rajkummar, Janhvi’s co-star, was in Jaipur promoting his next film, Srikanth, while Janhvi and Sharan were busy promoting Mr. and Mrs. Mahi on Friday. In the movie, he portrays the life of industrialist Srikanth Bolla, who, in spite of his vision impairment, boldly followed his aspirations. On May 10, the film is scheduled for release in theaters.
