Legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli will kickstart his IPL 2025 campaign on Saturday, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the competition. Ahead of the much-awaited face-off, the legendary cricketer was seen having an animated chat with Josh Hazlewood. 

Did Kohli Take Batting Tips From Hazlewood?

RCB players had a training session to fine-tune their skills before the season opener against KKR. Amid the intense net sessions, Kohli and Hazlewood got some spare time, catching up with each other and having some discussions. 

Known for his exceptional bowling skills, Hazlewood was seen sharing a few batting insights with Kohli. While Hazlewood is a left-handed batter, he can be clearly seen imitating a right-handed batter and going back and across to explain something to Kohli. 

Although their point of discussion remained unclear, Kohli could be seen patiently watching and listening to the fast bowler during the training session at Eden Gardens.
