Kohli was blindfolded and asked to recognize his RCB teammates including Faf, Karthik and Siraj.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) players Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Dinesh Karthik and captain Faf du Plessis engaged in a blindfold game where Kohli’s eyes were tied with a cloth and he had to guess his teammates’ names without peeking at them.
The video shared on RCB Instagram, captioned “Game recognizes game” shows a blindfolded Kohli surrounded by his teammates and challenged to recognize them. First came Dinesh Karthik and Kohli easily identified him and did the same with fast bowler Mohammed Siraj.
He then took a bit of time when Faf du Plessis stood in front of him, but Kohli finally recognized him.
In a bid to throw him off his game, Kohli was then asked to identify another individual who turned out to be the captain of the Indian football team, Sunil Chhetri, who is also a good friend of former RCB skipper.

Kohli described him as he touched him to make sense of who he was, “short, strong and with hard hair”.
“Ohh! ye kaun hai bhai? Ye chhoti height ka ladka hai aur tagda hai. Baal bade hard hai iske. (Who Is he? He is a strong short guy. His hair are very hard),” Kohli wondered.
With a hint ,"he is an all-rounder and fast”, Virat was quick to pick up that the person was the Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri.
“Skip..”, he called joyously.
Later on, the two shared a hug and then Kohli gifted Chhetri a RCB jersey as well with the number 11 on it. Chhetri also plays for Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League.
