Please click on these images from the RCB-KKR game at the D Y Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, and you will know what we mean.

IMAGE: Skipper Faf and other RCB team-mates appear amused by Kohli's observations.
IMAGE: RCB pacer Akash Deep -- a Deri, Rohtas, Bihar native who plays for Bengal in domestic cricket -- is hugged by Faf and Kohli after getting Nitish Rana's wicket.
IMAGE: With Faf fielding at long on, it was Kohli, stationed at mid on, who counselled RCB bowlers like Hasaranga seen here celebrating ensnaring another KKR batsman in his web.
IMAGE: The famed Kohli intensity was missing. This was a man determined to have a good time playing the game, minus the burden of captaincy.
IMAGE: David Willey and Finn Allen seem amused by whatever Kohli is up to.
