Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri on March 31 (Friday) showcased his skills in the training session at M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the team's fielding drill. In the video shared by RCB, Chhetri can be seen showing his athleticism. Considered as one of the fittest footballers in the country, the 38-year-old put in a full-length dive to take a stunning catch.
In the video, Chhetri can also be seen chatting with RCB players, coach Sanjay Bangar. He also interacted with Mumbai Indians (MI) wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan.
“Cross culture of sports! Indian football captain and legend Sunil Chhetri dropped by at the Chinnaswamy to watch RCB practice, and spent time with Virat Kohli and the boys,” the caption of the video read.
Chhetri and former RCB skipper Virat Kohli did an Instagram live during Covid-19 pandemic which showed the bond two share. In the video, Chhetri also said that Kohli is hilarious.
“The conversation is always about sports, jokes, having fun and different stuff. I don’t know if people know this but Virat is hilarious.”
“That side of his is probably not known to a lot of people and I don’t know whether he’s gonna like me for saying this but he’s hilarious, man!” he added.
Chettri was complimented on his jersey to which he replied, “This is what I got today. Generally, I always eat RCB’s head for the jersey. I was in Bangalore, so I came to take my jersey. Loving it!”
He was asked about why he is a RCB fan to which he said, “Because I’m a BFC, I’m a Bangalore boy. Right from when I signed for BFC I’ve been supporting Bangalore.”
“I’ve got an added motivation with Virat. It’s my city, it’s our team. I’ve been supporting RCB for the longest time,” he added.
Chhetri feels that RCB is a balanced side as he said, “Me coming here is for my own sake than the team’s. The team doesn’t need motivation…we already have a very balanced side.”
RCB will start their campaign against Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 2 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Last season, Faf du Plessis’ RCB finished fourth on the points table. They were beaten by KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the eliminator.
