PUMA recently shared a video of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) team players engaging in a fun game of blindfold. In the video, captioned “Game recognises game”, RCB captain Virat Kohli and his teammates bonded as a squad.
Kohli, who is as popular for his fun-loving behaviour on and off the field, was blindfolded and surrounded by his teammates as they challenged him to recognise them by touch alone. The video showcased Kohli’s sharp senses by easily recognising his teammates Dinesh Kartik and Mohammed Siraj by their beards and watches, respectively.
Kohli then recognised his skipper Faf du Plessis through his physique.
However, the next player proved to be a surprise for Kohli. He described the player as “short, strong, and with hard hair” and wondered who he was. With a hint that he was an all-rounder and fast, Kohli quickly guessed that it was the Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri.
Towards the end of the video, Kohli and his teammates presented Chhetri with an RCB jersey. This gesture showcased RCB’s inclusivity and spirit of brotherhood.

Reacting to the heart-warming video, Virat’s wife Anushka Sharma dropped face with tears of joy, heart, and clapping hand sign emojis. “😂❤️👏”
Chettri plays for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL). Unlike RCB, Bengaluru FC won their maiden title in the 2018-19 season.
