Former South African legend AB de Villiers and Indian bowling superstar Jasprit Bumrah have been picked by Virat Kohli in his Gully cricket team. He made this choice before the clash of Royal Challengers against Chennai Super Kings at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The challenge presented to Virat Kohli was to select four players for his street cricket team. However, there was a twist: Kohli had to choose one wicketkeeper, one bowler, and one batter among the four players. After this, Kohli selected four individuals who showcased their abilities in the shortest format of the game.
For his street cricket team, Kohli selected AB de Villiers, Jasprit Bumrah, Andre Russell, and Rashid Khan. These four players have earned recognition as stars for their respective IPL franchises.
Bumrah fondly remembers Kohli as his first IPL wicket. Russell has consistently posed a threat to RCB with his explosive batting displays. Meanwhile, the Afghan spinner, Rashid Khan has become an IPL legend, often bewildering batters with his mesmerizing bowling performances.
In the current IPL 2024 season, Virat Kohli has showcased outstanding form. The 35-year-old has accumulated 661 runs in 13 matches while representing the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), boasting an impressive average of 66.10. His consistent batting display comprises five half-centuries and a century.
