Virat Kohli's hot-dogs took on AB de Villiers' cool cats in a fun football match | YouTubeFootball is a game that many cricketers love and even indulge in before matches as part of warmup exercises. Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and a handful of other players are very good at the game and recently, we got a glimpse of Kohli and AB de Villiers from the Royal Challengers Bangalore go up against one another in an intra-squad match.

Shanker Basu, RCB’s strength and conditioning coach, oversaw the match as Virat Kohli’s hot-dogs clashed against AB de Villiers’ Cool Cats during practice in Dubai.

Physio Evan Speechly took over the job of the referee as RCB stars were spotted playing the match with a lot of intensity. Speechly even said Dale Steyn got a red card for a rough tackle while India pacer Mohammad Siraj walked away with a yellow card.

"I hate football for cricketers. It's highly injurious. I can only see risk, no reward. But even in the Indian team, we cut football totally but once in a while, I allowed the children to play. Every year, when they play this game, my heart is in my mouth," Basu said in the latest episode of RCB's Bold Diaries.

Virat Kohli's men will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening game on September 21.

Kohli called the current RCB squad as the 'most balanced' one since their run to the final in 2016 and said that he was hopeful of a miracle in the upcoming IPL 2020.

"We are not going to think of what-ifs, we know what we can do as a team. And we're just very, very keen and hungry to go out there and do it. To be honest, that 2016 season which we all loved to be a part of, since then this is the most balanced I have felt about the squad, as a system as to where we are heading. It's been very well taken care of now. It's up to us to execute on the field," Kohli said.
