The respect between cricketers irrespective of the franchises they are representing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been paramount. Another case of such bonhomie was pretty evident after the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings IPL 2022 clash on Wednesday. Two of the greatest in the league — Virat Kohli and Dwayne Bravo — were on fighting against each other but that didn’t stop the latter from hailing his rival.

Dwayne Bravo has come out in his support after what has been a forgettable tournament so far for Virar Kohli in terms of his batting. Bravo, who was not part of the CSK playing XI for the match against RCB, took to Instagram after the game and penned a note for Kohli to go along with some pictures.

Captioning the pictures, Dwayne Bravo wrote: “Enjoy life and appreciate greatness! @virat.kohli Respect #NumberOne numbers don’t lie! #Champion”.

Here are some of the reactions from the fans:
