Still having an outside chance in the race to IPL 2024 playoffs, RCB will take on Punjab Kings at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday, as both the teams face a must-win situation.

Ahead of the game, Du Plessis spoke about his bond with Kohli on the ‘Captains Speak’ segment of Star Sports show.
“We both love food. We both are really into our fashion. That’s another thing we spend a lot of time talking about. The way we dress, what style of clothes. We would send each other pictures of outfits and stuff like that,” said the RCB captain.

He also mentioned Virat’s love for watches, and how it has been a ‘terrible influence’ on him.
“He’s been a terrible influence on me when it comes to watches, but he’s got a real passion for watches,” said the former South Africa captain with a smile.
Du Plessis rounded off the discussion with the mention of family and how being in a similar age-group helps their wives and kids connect to each other.

“He’s got a daughter, I’ve got two daughters. He’s got his second child now as well. Our wives and kids, having them at similar ages, (we) really connected at that front as well,” Du Plessis said.
Going into their match on Thursday, both RCB and Punjab have 8 points from 4 wins in 11 matches, which leaves them with only faint hopes of finishing in the playoff bracket of top four on the points table at the end of the league stage.
