Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja’s hilarious conversation goes viral in IPL 2024 opener

New Delhi: In the opening match of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings beat RCB by six wickets to extend their winning run against Bengaluru at home in Chepauk. Several moments went viral on the internet but the one that stood the most was the hilarious conversation between Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.

Cricket fans were left in splits as during the 11th over of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s innings, an incident occurred during Jadeja’s 3rd over. Jaddu, known for his quick over-completions, stopped the ball and playfully threatened to pass it to Kohli before rushing back to his mark to bowl the next delivery. Seeing Jadeja bowl so quickly, legendary Indian batter Kohli then asked Jadeja to give Green some time to breathe.

“Abey sans to lene de usko,” said Kohli, which translates to “Let Cameron Green breathe, man.” The video went viral in minutes as fans loved the camaraderie between the two old friends.

Virat struggled with the bat as he scored just 21 (20). RCB, batting first, rode on Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik’s 95-run partnership and put 173 runs on the board. In reply, CSK lost just four wickets and chased the total with eight balls in hand. Mustafizur Rahman won the player of the match award for his four-wicket haul.
