Ahead of their final league match, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) shared a heartwarming video on social media featuring a candid interaction between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Virat Kohli and LSG mentor Zaheer Khan. In the video, Zaheer is seen introducing his young son to Kohli. The RCB batter begins the exchange by asking Zaheer, “Kis pe gaya hai?” (Whom does he resemble?). Zaheer replies, “Mix,” prompting Kohli to say, “His eyes are just like you.” The wholesome moment ends with both former India teammates sharing a warm laugh. The video has struck a chord with fans, highlighting the camaraderie among cricketers despite the high stakes. RCB will face LSG on Tuesday, 27 May, in what will be a must-win game for Kohli’s side.
