PBKS vs RCB | Twitter impressed as Kohli's golden nugget of wisdom helps Suyash dispatch debutant Musheer
No amount of talent can replace situational awareness and experience, and it's a good thing for Virat Kohli that he boasts the entire package. The veteran's reading of the game was on full showcase in Mullanpur on Thursday when his advice to Suyash Sharma proved to be the undoing of Musheer Khan.
Punjab Kings were in dire straits after losing four wickets in the Qualifier 1 powerplay but Royal Challengers Bengaluru were in mood to relent as the scalps of Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh further left them reeling at 60/6. The hosts decided the moment was ripe to bring in Musheer Khan as an emergency Impact Player with the hops of stemming the collapse and putting a substantial target on the board. Little did they realize that Virat Kohli was patiently watching, ready to make an impact even before he came out to bat in the chase.
Suyash began his endeavour to dismiss Musheer with two googlies on length that the youngster comfortably contended with, enough to make Kohli pitch in with some advice. The veteran alerted his skipper that Musheer Khan is prone to playing the sweep and that could get him in trouble, words that Suyash clung onto as he looped the next ball up. As predicted by Kohli, Musheer went down on one knee and swing his bat across but the Kookaburra just skidded straight, hitting the batter on the pad and ending his stay.
Twitterati was in awe of the camraderie at work.

Did you?
Did anyone else notice the (probable) lip-sync and gestures from Virat Kohli when Musheer Khan was taking guard?

If true, that’s surprising even by his own standards. Definitely not the best demeanour from a 'legend of the game.'
