Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will have everything to play for when they take the field against Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants in the last league stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season at the Ekana on Tuesday. A win against LSG will seal a spot in the top two for RCB, giving them a chance to play in Qualifier 1. However, a loss will see them play the Eliminator.
Ahead of the marquee contest against LSG, RCB batter Virat Kohli was seen chatting with Lucknow mentor Zaheer Khan. Virat and Zaheer share a good bond, and the duo was part of the 2011 World Cup-winning squad. During a training session, Zaheer Khan was spotted showing pictures of his newborn son Fatehsinh to Virat Kohli and the wholesome exchange is now going viral on social media.
The video shared by the official X handle of LSG opens with Zaheer Khan showing Virat Kohli pictures of his and Sagarika Ghatge’s son Fatehsinh. The former India captain then was seen asking the former India pacer whom the little one resembles.
“Yeh dekh. (See this). Mr Fatehsinh,” said Zaheer Khan.
To this, Kohli replied, “How’s it going? Kispe gaya hai? (Who does he resemble?”
Zaheer Khan said that his son’s features are a combination of himself and his wife, Sagarika. However, it was Kohli’s observation that definitely took the cake. Zaheer Khan was also seen smiling at the end by what Kohli had to say.
“His eyes are just like you,” said Virat Kohli.
The official handle of LSG shared the video on social media with the caption, “Simply aww.”
