There is no doubt that Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj share a close bond after being part of the same Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise in IPL.
Both RCB players are regular members of the national side. Recently during the MI vs RCB encounter in IPL 2024, Mohammed Siraj fulfilled a fan's request to see Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli owns a marvelous form in IPL 2024. The RCB opener owns the orange cap with the most runs in the league currently.
The right-handed batsman has mustered 319 runs in 6 games at a stunning average of 79.75 and strike rate of 141+. Kohli has also stormed 2 half-centuries and 1 century in the season.
However, despite Kohli's heroics with the bat, RCB has failed to come up with a brilliant show this season. The Faf du Plessis-led side has lost 5 games out of 6 and takes the last spot in the IPL 2024 points table.

Meanwhile, IPL 2024 has proved to be a poor season for Mohammed Siraj so far, who has struggled to dominate opposition batters.
The right-arm pacer has clinched 4 wickets from 6 games at a poor average of 57.25. His economy also stands high at 10.40 and the RCB pacer was smacked for a lot of runs during his spell in some games.
RCB lost to MI by 7 wickets
Talking about the MI vs RCB encounter on Thursday, Mumbai Indians won by 7 wickets. Batting first, RCB piled up a powerful total of 196-8 in 1st innings. While Virat Kohli failed to go big getting out for 3, Faf du Plessis slammed 61 runs.
Later, Rajat Patidar (50 off 26) and Dinesh Karthik (53* off 23) helped RCB to post a big total. Jasprit Bumrah picked a brilliant 5-wicket haul for Mumbai. During the chase, MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan set up a 101-run opening stand.
Later, Suryakumar Yadav shattered a blistering 52 off 19 to drive the team towards victory. Mumbai chased down the target in just 15.3 overs to register their second win of the season across 5 encounters.
Mumbai Indians are now set to face Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, April 14 at their home ground. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next clash of IPL 2024 at home Chinnaswamy Stadium.
