Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has already hit the ground running with their virtual team meetings and online workout sessions. As players and support staff have finally got a hcance to get into the groove after a huge break, a few blips were boud to happen. Like Adam Griffith, the RCB bowling coach, turning up for a team meeting dressed in beachwear and immediately he was reminded by Director of Cricket Mike Hesson about the dress code.
Another example of tehs ame was when Parthiv Patel who is “not related” to Hesson, as the latter clarified on social media, receiving a gift from the coach. RCB shared a video on social media showing snippets from their team meetings and the ckeekish banter between players and support staff.
Just to clarify @parthiv9 and I are not related….. https://t.co/iUJTxKlucs

When Griffith joined the video webinar, Hesson qucikly pointed out: “You look ready for the beach already,” Hesson quipped. Griffith, still unaware of what Hesson was hinting at, replied rather plaintively. “I was working out in my room actually.”

However, the big Australian realised his mistake as he replied, “You’re looking very official. Were we supposed to wear our shirts for this?” Well you obviously read half the mail, didn’t you. Was there a mail to it? I think there was an invite from Soumya. If you do have one polo, if you can whack one on please,” Hesson reminded, like a nonplussed manager.
Asking for a 5-minute break, Griffith swooped across his screen to “whack on” a polo. A case of minor indiscipline handed very efficiently by Hesson justified RCB’s claim in the caption.
