Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Virat Kohli participated in a blindfold challenge. Initially, he struggled to identify Dinesh Karthik but then surprised everyone by recognizing Indian football captain Sunil Chettri, who is a devoted RCB fan.
In the video, Kohli identified Karthik by his beard and Mohammed Siraj by the wristwatch on his left arm. He also recognized skipper Faf du Plessis by his tattoos and wristwatch on his right hand. He needed a hint to identify Sunil Chettri but almost got it right. Kohli presented Chettri with a customized jersey in the video. RCB and Puma India shared the clip captioned as:
Reacting to the heart-warming video, Anushka Sharma commented: “????❤️????”
Chettri plays for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) and helped them win their first trophy in the 2018-19 season, unlike RCB. Internationally, Chettri is the third-highest active goal-scorer, with 85 goals in 133 games for India. Only Lionel Messi (102 for Argentina) and Cristiano Ronaldo (122 for Portugal) have scored more goals.
