Royal Challengers Bangalore brought an end to their three-match losing streak on Wednesday (May 4) with a 13-run triumph over defending champions Chennai Super Kings.
Glenn Maxwell and Virat Kohli were captured in the screen together and they got engaged in a inviting chitchat. Maxwell teased him for his run-out from the game, playfully saying he won’t bat with the right-handed hitter any longer. For the unversed, the Aussie dasher went back for a run-a-ball three as he couldn’t total a fast run while reacting to Kohli’s call.
‘You get ones and twos, I don’t’ – Glenn Maxwell to Virat Kohli
“I just can’t bat with you. You run too fast, you run too fast. You get ones and twos, I don’t,” Maxwell said in the clip shared by RCB. Notably, it was Kohli who started the banter as he greeted the Australian all-rounder as the “greatest injured player in the history of the game.” The former Indian captain apparently lauded Maxwell for delivering a match-winning spell despite carrying a niggle.
Maxwell dismissed dangerous batters Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu and gave away just 22 runs in his quota of four overs. “That was a good win, so important (in the context of IPL 2022 playoff race). The greatest injured player in the history of the game (laughs). 2/22 in four overs,” Kohli said.
