"Aaja, Aaja": Kohli Taunts India Star Who Banged Helmet After Win vs RCB

Rajasthan Royals on Friday uploaded a funny video of Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli meeting their pacer Avesh Khan. RCB are set to take on RR in an IPL 2024 game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Saturday, April 6. The RCB team has already started its preparations by reaching the venue ahead of the game. During a practice session, Kohli met Avesh in a funny manner, the video of which was shared by RR on social media. "Aaja, aaja. Ummmm... aisa mouka phir kahan milega. (Come, come. When am I going to get such a chance again?)," says Kohli to Avesh before the duo share a hug.

Both Avesh and Kohli hogged the limelight during the two RCB vs Lucknow Super Giants games in IPL 2023 for wrong reasons. The first match-up between RCB and LSG turned out to be a thriller, with KL Rahul's side emerging as the winners. The then LSG player, Avesh, who was on the pitch when the side successfully completed the run-chase against RCB, threw his helmet on the ground in celebration. The gesture saw Avesh earning a hefty fine later.

The issue became a matter of debate before the Kohli vs Naveen-ul-Haq and Gautam Gambhir took over in their next game.

RCB won the contest when the two teams clashed for the second time in IPL 2023. Kohli clearly vented his anger out after the victory and that led to his clash with LSG player Naveen and then mentor Gambhir. The tussle become one of the major controversial moments of IPL 2023.

Talking about the upcoming IPL 2024 game, struggling RCB and high-flying RR bizarrely have similar worries to address when they face each other in Jaipur on Saturday.

The eighth place where RCB are currently on the 10-team table is a fair indication of their troubles, but Rajasthan's all-win record so far do not necessarily mirror their turmoil.
