In a lighthearted moment that captured the attention of cricket fans worldwide, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Smriti Mandhana‘s artistic skills took center stage during a recent Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 event. The star cricketer, known for her prowess with the bat, showcased her talents off the field by sketching a caricature of former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, leaving spectators in stitches.
Smriti Mandhana draws a funny picture of Virat Kohli
The amusing incident unfolded during the recently released RCB podcast.
During a face-off activity, Mandhana was tasked with sketching Virat. To give a clue to her competitor and the show’s host, Mr. Nags (Danish Sait), she drew a cartoon figure adorned with a crown.
Promptly, Mr. Nags correctly identified the character as Virat.
When asked about the absence of a beard, she swiftly added it to the drawing, completing Virat’s distinctive appearance. The duo then posed with the artwork, prompting Mandhana to burst into laughter.
Mandhana humorously apologized to both Virat and Mr. Nags for her drawing skills, saying, “Sorry! [chuckles].”
In response, Mr. Nags chuckled and remarked, “No, it’s nice [chuckles].”
