We have been friends for a while now, we know each other really well, and obviously, RCB has been one of the strongest teams,” he added.

Commentating over Kohli’s form,They have done really well every year now. And whenever Virat Kohli is in the opposition, whenever he is playing, it is always a clash to look forward to. He’s been doing it for a really long time now, consistently for RCB and for the country as well. So, it is always a great match, and after Mumbai Indians, this is the second match we always look forward to,” said Gaikwad to JioStar.
