New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batter Virat Kohli took a blindfold challenge off the field. In collaboration with Puma India, Virat did a fun session of identifying players blindfolded. While he was able to correctly guess about his teammates Dinesh Karthik, Mohammed Siraj and Faf du Plessis, only one person could trick him.
In the hilarious video, Virat can first be seen touching Dinesh and guessing his name by his beard. Next, he guesses Siraj as he touches his watch on the left arm and goes on to correctly guess captain Faf through his watch and by feeling his tattoos.

Next, he encounters India’s football captain and legendary player Sunil Chhetri. Touching Sunil, Virat assumed him to be a kid and exclaimed, “Yeh kaun hai bachcha? (Who is this kid?)” Sunil had a cricket ball in his hand to deceive Kohli. Trying to guess, Virat said that the person has really ‘hard’ hair and a strong body. Taking his time, he guesses it is the ‘skipper’ and removes his blindfold to hug Chhetri.
The cricket and football legends are seen sharing a laugh as Sunil pranked Virat into this. RCB players also gifted a team jersey to Sunil Chhetri as a token of gratitude.
Virat Kohli has scored 279 runs in six innings in the tournament and stands in third position among the highest run-getters of IPL 2023. He is playing with an average of 55.80 and a strike rate of 142.34. In the last game against PBKS, he returned as RCB’s captain as Faf suffered a niggle and scored 59 off 47.
RCB has won three and lost three games and stands in the fifth position with six points.
