The two cricketers also rapped in the video, which was uploaded on social media by Kohli himself. His post read: “Watch me and @RishabPant777 team up to take care of the one problem that keeps coming back. PIMPLES.”

However, other users weren’t this considerate as they trolled Kohli and Pant incessantly after the video was shared on Twitter.

After a disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign that saw his team Royal Challengers Bangalore crash out of the league stage itself, Virat Kohli is now gearing up to lead Team India at the forthcoming ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.

As for Rishabh Pant, he won’t be boarding the plane for England as he was left out of the 15-member Indian squad by the selectors.

“In pressure situations, he’s (Dinesh Karthik) shown composure,” Virat Kohli told TOI. “It was something that everybody on board was convinced about.

“He has the experience. If, god forbid, something happens to MS (Dhoni), Karthik can be immensely valuable behind the wickets. As a finisher, he’s done well.

“So, it was the overall exposure to a tournament of this magnitude that was taken into primary consideration.”

The showpiece even begins on May 30 where England take on South Africa in the first match at the Oval. As for the ‘Men in Blue’, they will lock horns against South Africa in their first match of the tournament on June 5.
