'Kohli tips le raha hoga' - Fans react as Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal were spotted having a chat before RR vs RCB game

A clip of Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal was played before the start of the IPL 2023 game in Jaipur on Sunday, indicating that the Rajasthan Royals star is looking to cap off an incredible season by leading the team to the playoffs while the former RCB star, playing in his 16th IPL season, is still searching for his first trophy. In the end, the visitors won the game after RR put on a terrible batting display at home, scoring just 59 runs in 103 overs, and RCB scripted a 112-run victory to increase their chances of entering the playoffs.

Yashasvi had the opportunity to display his talent in front of the modern era's greatest player in Jaipur, just days after his incredible 98-run knock that earned Kohli a tonne of praise. However, he was dismissed for a two-ball duck, and Kohli completed the dismissal with a catch in the second ball of RR's chase.

However, the 21-year-old could speak with Kohli, with the former RCB skipper devoting a significant amount of time. Later, IPL posted a picture of the graph with the caption: "As special as it gets. 𝘼𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ft. @imVkohli & @ybj_19.”

While speaking with Jio Cinema and watching the tape, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra concluded that they aren't discussing the game, but rather Kohli is offering him advice on how to improve so that he can join the Indian team.

Yashasvi scored a game-winning 98 against Kolkata Knight Riders earlier this week at the Eden Gardens, and Kohli praised the RR star in his Instagram story. Wow, this is some of the best batting I've seen in a while," he had written. Yashasvi Jaiswal has a gift. The 21-year-old was shocked to learn about the social media post later on from colleague Yuzvendra Chahal, and he later congratulated Kohli on Instagram.

Yashasvi's dismissal for a duck in the IPL 2023 season was a rare hiccup in an otherwise outstanding campaign, in which she accumulated 575 runs in 13 innings with a century and four fifty-plus scores. He is currently in second place in the Orange Cap race.
