Virat Kohli’s Sharp Retort to Pat Cummins’ Comment on Wicket’s Ease

RCB, with just one win in eight games and firmly anchored at the bottom of the IPL 2024 standings, are facing a must-win situation in every match from now on. Their next challenge is against the formidable SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), away from home. Previously, RCB suffered a defeat against Pat Cummins’ SRH at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in a high-scoring encounter. Ahead of their upcoming clash, both teams engaged in a joint training session in Hyderabad where SRH captain Pat Cummins approached RCB’s iconic player Virat Kohli for some friendly banter.

In a widely circulated video, Kohli was seated on the ground when Cummins, fully geared up, came over for a conversation. Cummins mentioned that the coach accused him of making the pitch seem too easy. Kohli responded with a smirk, acknowledging Cummins’ skill by saying, “You’re just too good, Pat.” This exchange between the two has gained significant attention on social media.

Cummins shared his admiration for Kohli ahead of their match, jokingly stating that his favorite memory of the star batter is whenever he manages to dismiss him. He emphasized Kohli’s competitiveness and his consistent presence in the game, whether batting or bowling.

In their previous encounter, SRH set a new IPL record by posting a formidable total of 287/3, surpassing their earlier score of 277 against Mumbai Indians. The match turned into a high-scoring affair, with a total of 549 runs scored as RCB chased down 262 runs. Despite RCB’s struggles, Kohli has been the leading run-scorer of the season, holding the Orange Cap with 379 runs in eight matches.
