Team India’s star batter Virat Kohli had a verbal banter with a couple of Lucknow Super Giants players during the RCB vs LSG match in the IPL 2023 on May 1. After the first IND vs WI T20I, Caribbean all-rounder Kyle Mayers, who was part of the LSG side spoke about Kohli’s aggression.

Royal Challengers Bangalore had defeated the LSG side in the 43rd game in the IPL 2023 by 18 runs and Kyle Mayers was seen having a conversation with Virat Kohli after the game. However, Lucknow Super Giants’ mentor Gautam Gambhir escorted him away and then had a heated discussion with the RCB batter.

During the same game, Kohli had a verbal banter with LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and the discussion got further heated during the customary handshake after RCB’s victory. LSG skipper KL Rahul and RCB captain Faf du Plessis too had to intervene in the matter.

Being aggressive shows courage: Kyle Mayers on verbal banter with Virat Kohli during RCB vs LSG clash

In an interview with FanCode after the first IND vs WI T20I on August 3, Kyle Mayers was asked about the aggression shown by Virat Kohli during the RCB vs LSG game to which the Caribbean all-rounder came up with an interesting reply.

“You had a little bit of banter with Virat Kohli in the IPL, what do you think of his aggression in the game?” Mayers was asked.

“I think it’s great sometimes you know you need to get out the opposition, you know if you need to create any chance anything you could and possibly get out of the game. You know but yaa being aggressive is also good you know it shows courage and willingness to get the team cross the line,” the West Indies all-rounder said on FanCode.

In the same interview, Mayers was asked, “Among Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, which one would be your most precious wicket?”

“Virat Kohli. Any bowler would like to get out Kohli, he’s one of the best players across formats” replied Mayers on FanCode.

 

Meanwhile, West Indies defeated Team India in the first T20I by 4 runs in a nail-biting thriller. The Hardik Pandya-led side will now look to bounce back in the second T20I of the 5- match series on August 6 in Guyana.

In the absence of experienced batters Virat and Rohit, the young batters have an opportunity to showcase their talent and potential against the Caribbean side and impress the Indian team selectors ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
