IPL 2024: Glenn Maxwell Hilariously Imitates Virat Kohli And Faf du Plessis During Nets Session; Video

Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Glenn Maxwell hilariously imitated Virat Kohli and skipper Faf du Plessis as the franchise's official social media handles uploaded a video of the same. With Kohli batting in the nets, the Aussie all-rounder stood behind him and mimicked his batting style and stroke-making. England all-rounder Will Jacks was also seen in training.

Maxwell also mimicked Faf du Plessis high backlift that he produces just before playing any shot. A lot will depend on the trio of Maxwell, Kohli, and Du Plessis if the Royal Challengers are to lift their maiden trophy this year. The Chepauk Stadium also gave Kohli a rousing reception as he gears up to face defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the opening game of IPL 2024 on Friday.

"I am pretty happy and excited to be back" - Virat Kohli

Speaking to RCB.tv in an earlier interview, Kohli stated that he is raring to go after a two-month break as the new IPL season begins. The 35-year-old stated:

"It's really good to be back, firstly playing cricket and just starting off the IPL. It's always exciting to come back to Bangalore for the start of the IPL season. So, similar emotions, similar feelings and I haven't been off the media radar. I have been into the normalcy, you can say, for two months. So, yeah, I am pretty happy and excited to be back and I hope all the fans are excited and happy as well."

Kohli had smashed 639 runs in 12 matches in IPL 2023 at 53.25 with 2 centuries.
