IPL 2017: Jadeja reveals why Kohli laughed at him in viral picture

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has revealed why Virat Kohli laughed at him at an IPL 2017 match last week.

Bengaluru, April 28: Gujarat Lions' (GL) star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has revealed on what Virat Kohli said to him that left them in splits before their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash on April 18 (Tuesday) in Rajkot.



A picture of the current Indian skipper Kohli, all-rounder Jadeja and Gujarat Lions' pacer Praveen Kumar went viral on social media where Kohli was seen laughing his heart out to Kumar while his hand was pointed to Jadeja who was standing right next to the duo.

In a recent interview, Jadeja finally revealed what actually was the case and it is nothing but a light-hearted joke.

"The picture was taken right before the match with RCB, where Virat started calling me 'Rajput'. He has nicknamed me that and I feel super proud when he addresses me with that name. Virat and I are like brothers and these fun conversations are a part of our relationship," Jadeja said.

"Everyone in the dressing room looked the same, so I thought let's try something different. Something that is unique. Once Anil Kumble walked up to me when I was sitting with my face down. He thought I was KL Rahul and started speaking in Kannada. Beards have created a lot of confusion in the team," Jadeja stated.

Jadeja shared his new look on Twitter just before the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on April 18 when he was about to make his comeback from an injury that kept his out from the first few games of this IPL season with the Twitter post reading that, "Change the game on the field. Change the look in the dressing room".

The two Indian superstars clashed against each other once again on Thursday (April 27) and it was Jadeja's GL side who had the last laugh as they managed to beat Kohli's RCB quite convincingly, by 7 wickets.

RCB are not having the best IPL season at all. GL, who are also struggling to find their feet in this edition IPL, have managed to heap further misery on Kohli's star-studded side on Thursday.
