When IPL season kicks off, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) always have some funny videos featuring Mr. Nags (Danish Sait) chatting with Virat Kohli. This year, as the franchise started strong, Kohli and Nags got together for a ‘guided meditation session’ filled with some funny yet tricky questions for Kohli. During the chat, Kohli didn’t hold back, poking fun at his team’s title loser streak over the past 17 seasons. He joked that it’s never a sure thing to say RCB will finally win it this year.
Mr. Nags asked, Virat, since we last talked, you’ve won the Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup. So, is it safe to think… maybe RCB will take the IPL this year? Kohli, after a pause, replied, With us, it’s never safe. You can hope, but it’s never a sure thing.
Then Nags switched topics and asked if winning those titles boosted Kohli’s endorsement value. Kohli simply said, Yes. Nags followed up, Is that why you’ve hidden your old social media posts? Kohli explained, I’m in a different place with social media right now. I’m not really engaging much, but who knows what the future holds? I just felt it needed a reset.
Later, Nags brought up the number ’18’, suggesting it might be RCB’s lucky number this season. When he asked if this is the year for fans to believe, Kohli laughed and said, Were they not believing before? With Kohli wearing the number 18, fans felt a spark of hope that season 18 could finally end the wait for a title. But they still have a long way to go. They also enjoyed a meditation session that led to some hilarious moments.
