Watch: Virat Kohli wins hearts as he touches his childhood coach's feet ahead of RCB vs DC clash in IPL 2023

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are facing each other in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, May 6. RCB defeated DC by 23 runs when they clashed, earlier, in the 20th match of the season at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, ahead of the match, former RCB captain Virat Kohli was seen touching his childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma’s feet in order to show honor of respect towards him. Kohli, who is often seen as an aggressive player on the cricket field, surprised his fans by showing the different side of himself. Many fans have showered love on him for his sweet gesture towards his teacher who taught him a lot when he was a kid.

Kohli's performance in the league so far is tremendous as in 9 matches, he has scored 364 runs at a brilliant average of around 45. However, his non-cricketing action in the league kept him more in the headlines as during the clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), he was involved in a heated exchange with LSG pacer Naveen ul Haq and their mentor Gautam Gambhir due to which Kohli was fined 100% of his match fee by the Indian Cricket Board.

Meanwhile, talking about RCB vs DC, the David Warner-led team will try to give their all as they can't afford any more losses from here. On the other hand, RCB are standing in the 5th position with 10 points but they are also eying a win in order to jump into the top 4 spot on the points table.

Here are the playing XIs of both teams

Delhi Capitals: David Warner (C), Philip Salt (WK), Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Manish Pandey, Aman Hakim Khan, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
