Virat and Yuzi have been playing together for team India and the IPL team RCB. They have gelled together and share an amazing bond on and off the field as well. In an interview with Times of India, this is what Yuzi had to say about his skipper Virat, “I have got a lot of support from him (Virat). In fact, during the IPL, he came and said – ‘Yuzi, jaise tu ball daalta hai hamesha, waise hi daal, koi changes mat laa (bowl the way you usually bowl, don’t change anything). His words motivate me a lot. Not just on the field, he supports me off the field too. He (Virat) said – ‘Yuzi, no need to think too much, it’s just a phase, don’t take the pressure and just back yourself’.
Here are a few instances that the duo share that we absolutely adore.
The time when Virat Kohli appeared on Chahal’s show: Virat Kohli has a slew of awards under his belt. And here’s another: an appearance on Chahal TV, where Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal hosts special guest shows. In the last episode, Rohit Sharma gave Chahal an interview after striking a century in Sydney, and now it was clearly time for Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who led India to victory in the second ODI in Adelaide with a match-winning effort. Virat Kohli joked that his appearance was his “career’s greatest honor,” and spoke about MS Dhoni, India’s victory in Adelaide, and much more.
In the current season of the Indian Premier League in Sharjah when Virat and Chahal’s team Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated KL Rahul led Punjab Kings. After this match, Chahal was spotted saying that Virat’s suggestion helped him in his bowling order. He said Kohli asked him to bowl dot balls rather than wicket-taking balls and that confirmed to be a turning point in the match.
