As the Indian Premier League (IPL) is only a few days away, Indian players have already joined their respective IPL franchises after the conclusion of the India-England home series. Meanwhile, India captain Virat Kohli, has already started his preparations for the forthcoming season, where he will once again lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and hope to end their trophy drought.
The Indian skipper took to his official Twitter handle and shared his workout video, where he can be seen on a treadmill. He captioned the post, “No rest days. From here on its all about speed. #IPL” before his RCB teammate and good friend AB de Villiers joined in and the two stars engaged in a fun banter on the social media platform. It has now been revealed that the banter was part of an advertising campaign announcing Puma as the side’s sponsor.
