Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli: A Bond Beyond Cricket

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis and batting legend Virat Kohli have forged an unbreakable bond both on and off the field. Their friendship has blossomed since Du Plessis joined RCB and they began opening the batting together in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Du Plessis recently shared insights into their close relationship on the 'Captains Speak' segment of Star Sports. He revealed that they share a common passion for food and fashion, often discussing their outfits and exchanging pictures.

"We both love food. We both are really into our fashion. That's another thing we spend a lot of time talking about. The way we dress, what style of clothes. We would send each other pictures of outfits and stuff like that," said Du Plessis.

Kohli's love for watches has also rubbed off on Du Plessis. "He's been a terrible influence on me when it comes to watches, but he's got a real passion for watches," said the former South African captain with a smile.

Beyond their shared interests, Du Plessis and Kohli have connected on a personal level. They are both fathers and their families have bonded over their similar ages.

"He's got a daughter, I've got two daughters. He's got his second child now as well. Our wives and kids, having them at similar ages, (we) really connected at that front as well," said Du Plessis.

Their friendship has translated into success on the field. RCB has been a formidable force in the IPL, with Du Plessis and Kohli forming a formidable opening partnership. Their strong bond has created a positive atmosphere within the team, contributing to their consistent performances.

As RCB prepares for their crucial match against Punjab Kings, Du Plessis and Kohli will be looking to continue their impressive partnership. Their friendship and mutual respect have become a cornerstone of RCB's success, and they will be determined to lead the team to victory.
