IPL 2021: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other Indians engage in banter ahead of resumption of tournament

The second half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) finally starts on Sunday and the Indian players involved in the tournament could be seen engaging in some banter before the resumption of the tournament. The tournament resumes with defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) facing arch rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dubai International Stadium.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the players who are featured in the video. While they all play for the Indian team, the players represent different teams in the IPL with Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Rohit (Mumbai Indians), Samson (Rajasthan Royals), Pant (Delhi Capitals) and Rahul (Punjab Kings) being captains of their respective teams.

Now is what a dream call looks like, eh?

Delhi Capitals (DC) are top of the table going into the second half of the IPL but they played one match less than CSK and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are both just two points behind them. MI, who are on eight points, also have a chance at closing the gap on DC if they beat CSK on Sunday, having also played one match lesser than the top-placed team.
