Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 18 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This high-stakes match is crucial, as both teams are eyeing the last available playoff spot.

In the lead-up to this Southern Derby lash, RCB legend, Virat Kohli tried his hand at bowling during a training session. A video posted by the franchise on the eve of the game featured Kohli acting as a throwdown specialist for teammate Mahipal Lomror. Kohli wasn’t merely delivering throwdowns; he was actively coaching Lomror, offering advice, and encouraging him to play big shots.

This interaction has sparked fan speculation, especially in light of the absence of explosive English all-rounder Will Jacks. RCB will have to make at least one change in their playing XI as Jacks has already left the team camp due to national duties.
