The Indian Premier League 2023 fever is all over the world currently. Many foreign players have joined their respective franchises with their families in India for the ongoing season. 18 matches are already played in the 16th edition of the cash-rich league so far, and fans have witnessed many nail-biting matches already. 

Meanwhile, ahead of the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, a video of Ricky Ponting and his son Fletcher meeting with former RCB captain Virat Kohli is getting viral on social media. All three of them can be seen having fun with each other and the fans really liked their interaction a lot.

In the video, Ponting can be seen introducing his son to Virat. After this, both the cricketers keep talking for some time. However, it is clearly visible in the video that Ponting's son gets shy on seeing Kohli. 

Brilliant records by Virat Kohli

After achieving his 44th ODI century in the third and final ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram, Kohli surpassed Ponting in the list of batters with the most international centuries in December 2022. On the list of batters with the most international hundreds, he is now just behind batting legend Sachin Tendulkar (100).

For Kohli, the century was particularly significant because it was his first in more than three years. After suffering a major slump in performance the previous year, Kohli recovered in the T20 format, smashing his first T20I century in the Asia Cup, and finishing the 2022 20-20 World Cup with the most runs scored.

Meanwhile, talking about both RCB and DC's IPL 2023 journey so far, RCB have played 3 matches and suffered a loss in 2 games, however, one of them was a really close contest as they lost the match in the final delivery. On the other hand, DC has played 4 matches in the season so far and is still unable to open its winning account. They have performed very poorly in the tournament and are hoping to make a remarkable comeback.

Here's how the fans reacted:
