Eight games, seven losses and a lone win. From here, it is important to win every game for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who remain at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. On Thursday, RCB will face in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) away from home, having already lost a high-scoring encounter to the Pat Cummins-led side at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. On the eve of the match, at a joint training session in Hyderabad, SRH captain Pat Cummins visited RCB icon Virat Kohli for a healthy banter.
In a viral video, Kohli was seen sitting on the ground when Cummins, padded up, came up to Kohli for a chat.
“Coach was saying I was making that wicket flat. That’s all I heard,” Cummins can be heard telling Kohli.
Virat had a strange smile on his face while replying, “You are very good, Pat”.
The conversation between the two has gone viral on social media.
The way Virat Kohli told Pat Cummins “You’re too good Pat”.

Ahead of the match, Cummins opened up about his admiration for Kohli and his fondest memories of the star batsman.
Cummins said on Star Sports, “My favorite memory of Virat Kohli, can I say is whenever I get him out? (laughs) I admire him a lot, whether it is batting or bowling, he is always in the game. Live. He’s super competitive.”
The last time SRH faced RCB, it became a run-fest.
Batting first, SRH posted the highest ever IPL score, 287/3, surpassing the previous figure of 277 scored against Mumbai Indians during the season.
The match saw the highest score in a T20 game with 549 runs as RCB scored 262 runs while chasing the target.
Despite the struggles, Kohli is scoring the most runs for RCB this season. He holds the Orange Cap, given to the leading scorer of the tournament, after scoring 379 runs in eight matches.
