Social media is abuzz with a recent viral moment featuring Indian cricket star Virat Kohli crashing an interview with South African and Punjab Kings fast bowler Kagiso Rabada. During Rabada’s appearance on the ‘Willow Talk’ podcast, Kohli unexpectedly joined the interview, creating quite a stir online.
The incident occurred ahead of the clash between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday, May 9. In the viral clip, Rabada spots Kohli on the computer screen during his interview and points it out to the interviewer.
“Virat Kohli is right there; he’s dancing,” Kagiso Rabada remarks before informing Kohli that he’s in the middle of a podcast. Kohli, appearing curious, asks which podcast it is, and Rabada responds, “Willow Talk.”

The interviewer attempts to ask Kohli about his thoughts on Rabada as a bowler, but Kohli, unable to hear due to Rabada’s headphones, misses the question. In a light-hearted exchange, Rabada jokingly suggests that Kohli probably thinks he’s a rubbish bowler, prompting both players to share a handshake as Kohli exits the frame..
