Chhetri shares a great bond with former Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Speaking about the same and the conversation he has with the latter, Chhetri revealed that he finds Virat very funny.
“The conversation is always about sports, jokes, having fun and different stuff. I don’t know if people know this but Virat is hilarious.”
“That side of his is probably not known to a lot of people and I don’t know whether he’s gonna like me for saying this but he’s hilarious, man!” he added.
When complimented on his jersey, the 38-year old revealed, “This is what I got today. Generally, I always eat RCB’s head for the jersey. I was in Bangalore, so I came to take my jersey. Loving it!”
When asked why RCB is such a special team for him, he replied, “Because I’m a BFC, I’m a Bangalore boy. Right from when I signed for BFC I’ve been supporting Bangalore.”
“I’ve got an added motivation with Virat. It’s my city, it’s our team. I’ve been supporting RCB for the longest time,” he added.
When asked what motivation does he give to the team, he said, “Me coming here is for my own sake than the team’s. The team doesn’t need motivation…we already have a very balanced side.”
Meanwhile, RCB will square off against Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians on Sunday to open their IPL 2023 campaign at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
