The touring figure of Virat Kohli has been intimidating for newcomers, even to date. It would be wrong to think that Phil Salt joined the IPL franchise and immediately formed a strong bond with the Indian superstar.
As it marked a new start ahead of a fresh season, the franchise arranged an interactive session with their fans. So, there were promotional foam balls that the cricketers were asked to throw towards the crowd. It was a fun activity between the players and the fans.
Phil Salt was then new in the RCB camp
As Salt claimed in the podcast, Virat was then fuming; the ball hit direct on the temple. Virat knew it was Salt, but was looking around, trying to behave normally. After a few moments, he ran straight towards Salt and tackled him.
"Ran at me, tackled me": Virat Kohli's response to Phil Salt
“It was the RCB open training. They gave us these foam balls, and they were all in the changing room; there were hundreds of them. And then you gotta either throw them into the crowd or hit them into the crowd with a tennis racket."
“And then I just gave it the quick look around… he was staring straight at me, knew it was me. Ran at me, tackled me, and that was the best ice-breaker I think. I think he’s so used to guys worshipping him—and rightly so with all he has achieved. So I think it actually is quite a job for him to sort of relax in front of these guys, because they’re not relaxed,” he added in the same flow.
