During the first match of the IPL 2024 season opener between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings, something hilarious happened that had cricket fans laughing. It all went down in the 11th over of RCB’s batting innings after Faf du Plessis, the captain of RCB, decided to bat first when he won the toss. Cameron Green, a player from RCB, hit the ball back to Ravindra Jadeja, who was bowling for CSK at the time. Now, Jadeja is known for bowling really quickly.

After Jadeja stopped the ball, he jokingly threatened to throw it back to Virat Kohli, who was batting for RCB. But before Kohli could react, Jadeja rushed back to his bowling mark to continue with the next delivery. Kohli, in a funny response, asked Jadeja to give Green some breathing space, saying something like, “Abey Saans toh lene de usko” This little interaction between the two players, who are good friends, quickly spread on the internet, and fans loved seeing their playful banter.
RCB was facing a bit of trouble during their batting innings after losing three wickets in quick succession. However, thanks to a strong start by du Plessis, they managed to reach a decent score of 173/6 in their 20 overs. Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik also contributed to their team’s total, with Anuj scoring 48 runs before getting run out on the last ball of the innings, while Karthik remained unbeaten on 38.
