IPL2024: Results | Points table
Punjab will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday.
The video clip that went viral on social media shows Rabada sitting for a podcast with his headphones on, when he spots Virat behind his computer screen.
“Virat Kohli is right there; he’s dancing,” Rabada tells the interviewer on the other side. “I’m on a podcast,” he then told Virat.
“With whom?” asks Virat. “It’s called Willow Talk,” Rabada responds.

Hearing their conversation, the interviewer asks Rabada to ask Virat to come on screen and say hello.
“Hello boys,” Virat can be seen saying, as he introduces himself in front of the camera. “What’s going on? Big boy KG here,” says the RCB icon.
The interviewer then asks Virat, “How is he (Rabada) as a bowler? But Virat can’t hear this as Rabada is connected through headphones.
“I can’t hear anything, so I’ll just keep chatting like I always do,” jokes Virat.
“He thinks I am a weak bowler,” Rabada responds to the interviewer’s question, while Virat shakes the Punjab Kings bowler’s hand before leaving.
“He’s a pretty cool guest on your show,” Rabada says, and continues the podcast.
Ahead of their match on Thursday, RCB and Punjab both have 8 points from 4 wins in 11 matches, leaving them with only faint hopes of finishing in the top four bracket of the playoffs in the points table at the end of the championship phase.
