Football star Harry Kane picks RCB in IPL, says 'lucky to meet Virat Kohli'

Though former Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is not in the best of his forms, Kane said he was "lucky" to meet the cricket maestro .

While speaking exclusively with Star Sports about his favourite IPL team, Harry Kane said, "So my team is RCB. I have been lucky enough to meet Virat Kohli a few times and speak with him. They have picked up some good players this time.

"They were unlucky last year but they did the right things this year, they started well. There are some great teams at the IPL. I just like watching all of them to be honest but hopefully RCB can go well."

Bangalore, who are now led by new captain and South African batsman Faf du Plessis, are currently at the third spot in the standings with five wins in seven matches. 

Speaking about cricket and watching Kohli batting, the 28-year-old said, "We have been playing cricket for a year and a half and so we were playing pretty much once or twice a week and that was good fun.

"We enjoy playing cricket, obviously the IPL is on at the moment so we're enjoying watching that as well. Virat is incredible to watch. A real down to earth guy. He has fire in his batting and passion when you watch him play which is great to see."

Bangalore will be pitted against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a mega clash on Saturday evening.
