The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Mumbai Indians are considered two of the fiercest rivals in the Indian Premier League. Whenver these two teams play against each other, the fans engage in intense banter and war of words.

The two IPL giants are currently facing each other in the 20th match of the IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium. In the match, Virat Kohli played in his traditional style and scored a steady half-century. The star Indian batter scored 67 runs off 42 balls before being dismissed by Hardik Pandya.

Notably, this game also marked the return of Jasprit Bumrah to IPL cricket after nursing his back injury that he suffered during India's tour of Australia earlier this year. The Indian pacer looked in a decent rhythm during the game. 

Kohli Gives Bumrah A Push On the Shoulders

While both the players were giving their best for the teams on the field, the duo exchanged a friendly banter between themselves on the field. During Bumrah's second over of the spell and the 11th over of the innings, Kohli was seen giving a shoulder push to the Indian star pacer. 

Even though it was a firm push on the shoulders, it was a friendly moment between two national team-mates. The smile on the face of both the players showed that nothing was serious in the moment that was exchanged.
