The star of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Phil Salt, said that he was not a friend with Virat Kohli before making a hilarious turn. Salt, who was bought for Rs 11.5 crosses in the mega auction, was questioned by Mr. Nags on his dynamic with Virat in the team and he replied that they are only colleagues. However, later in the interview published by RCB on their official handles on social networks, Salt said that he and Virat were friends. The English international continued by saying that all those with whom he plays cricket is his friend.
Host: You said there were no friends in IPL in one of your interviews. So when you play with Virat, are you friends with him or aren’t you?
Salt: colleagues.

When we asked him again this question, Salt said to the host – “everyone with whom I played a cricket is one of my friends. I just didn’t want to give you additional ammunition in this interview”.
Earlier, Virat spoke of his typing style and also explained what led to the complete victory of his team over the capitals of Delhi.
“It was a leading victory, especially by watching the surface. We saw a few games here and this counter took place differently compared to them. Whenever there is a prosecution, I continue to check with the canoe, which we are on the right track,” he said.
“(What) the total (is) on the board. What the conditions look like. Who are the quisors who are due to the bowl. Who are the quisses who will be difficult to escape,”
Kohli explained when he was asked how he provided for the prosecution.
“I try to make sure that my singles and my doubles do not stop so that the game does not stagnate. People forget the importance of partnerships and it appears in this tournament to try to dominate the questions through partnerships and professionalism.” Krunal, who had a hard time starting, finally struck his first fifty in IPL in nine years.
“Krunal was exceptional, he can have an impact and he was just time. We communicated, Krunal kept staying while he was lucky,” Kohli said.
