From setting up a strong foundation for Royal Challengers Bangalore in this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL) to pulling off match-winning knocks- the partnership of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis has been just unstoppable. But it is not just their chemistry in the match that has enthralled cricket fans. Their off-field camaraderie has been no less spectacular. A video of Kohli and Du Plessis sharing a light-hearted moment in the nets now has gone viral on social. In the video, the star Indian batter could be seen imitating the Bangalore skipper’s batting stance. Both batters can be spotted shadow-practising during a training session. Kohli’s pinpoint emulation, quite unsurprisingly, soon triggered buzz on Twitter.
