Gujarat Titans (GT) superstar spinner Rashid Khan and champion Indian cricketer Virat Kohli shared a light moment ahead of the all-important fixture between the Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB) and GT on Thursday night.
In a video shared by Khan on his Instagram account, Virat seemed to be impressed with the 'mini-copter' shot that spin-bowling all-rounder plays.
Rashid, who termed that shot as 'snake shot' shared the video with a caption which read:
"Even Virat Kohli bhai knows about my (snake emoji) ya (gun) shot"
Watch the video here:
Rashid has showcased his pyrotechnics with the bat on multiple occasions in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League.
Earlier in the season, he was at his swashbuckling best in a league game against his former franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In that game, Khan smashed left-arm pacer Marco Jansen for three monstrous sixes in the final over to help Gujarat chase down 196 against the odds and seal a five-wicket win.
Rashid and Virat will come up against each other in what is a crucial encounter for the Royal Challengers on Thursday night.
Having won 10 out of their first 13 games, the Titans have already sealed their spot in the playoffs, but the same cannot be said about the Faf du Plessis-led RCB.
The former runners-up need to find their final league-stage game and ensure that they win by a significant margin to improve their NRR.
Virat has been in poor form this season. In 13 innings, the Indian maestro has managed just 236 runs at an average of 19.67 with a strike rate of 113.46, including three ducks and a half-century.
Kohli and his fans will hope that the legendary batter regains his touch in the must-win encounter against the Titans.
