AB de Villiers asked to reveal what Virat Kohli whispered in his ears; Mr. 360 avoids a repeat of last year's blunder
A year ago, AB de Villiers blundered by disclosing personal information about Virat Kohli during one of his appearances on his YouTube channel. It made him regret as he acknowledged his "mistake." Having learnt from past experience, the former South Africa international chose to keep his chat with Kohli a secret when the two met right before the start of the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad. De Villiers has been part of the broadcasting unit of the IPL over the last few days, and, hence, was seen at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday for the final between RCB and the Punjab Kings. Seeing friend and former RCB teammate warming up before the final, he walked over to Kohli, and the two shared a hug before the latter was seen whispering something into his ears. Later, during the commentary through RCB's innings, De Villiers, who was part of the RCB unit the last time they played a final nine years back, was poked to disclose what Kohli told him during their emotional reunion. Still, the veteran batter did not reveal it. He said: "I'm not allowed to say what Kohli told me." After Kohli took a break from cricket at the start of 2024, skipping the home series against England, it sparked a wide range of speculations, with few experts even questioning its timing. In response to the critics, De Villiers, taking to his YouTube channel, revealed that he was away from national duty as he and his wife, Anushka Sharma, were expecting their second child. A few days later, he sharply retracted his statement, saying that he had 'made a big mistake.' Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar on the sidelines of the then-ongoing SA20 league in South Africa, he said: "Family comes first and then Cricket. I made a terrible mistake on my YouTube channel. That information was wrong and not true at all. Virat has every right to take a break from national duties due to family reasons. I think whatever's best for Virat's family, comes first. No one knows what's happening there, all I can do is wish him well. Whatever the reason for his break, I hope he can come back stronger, better, and fresh from this." As it turned out, Kohli and Anushka did welcome their second child, a son named Akaay, on February 15, 2024. The couple had announced the news on social media.

'Sitting in our cars, and laughing': Bengalureans joke as traffic chaos in London delays England-West Indies match
England-West Indies 3rd ODI: The third ODI between England and the West Indies on Tuesday hit an unexpected speed bump — London's traffic chaos. But while players were stuck in gridlock across the UK capital, it was Bengaluru that somehow zoomed into the spotlight. Why? Because of the city's infamous traffic jams. Social media couldn't resist the comparison — and soon, London's congestion was being compared with Bengaluru. 'Hahahaha!!! All of us in Bangalore are sitting in our cars, and laughing at this,' one user wrote, reacting to a clip of the delayed toss between England and West Indies. Cricketers of both England, West Indies team got stuck on their respective buses on the way to the Oval in south London, with England's players deciding to get off and ride bikes to the ground instead. Videos of the same started doing the rounds on social media, leaving netizens amused. 'Arriving at the ground in style. Only one way to beat the road closures in London,' England Cricket posted on their X account. The mirth on social media continued, with netizens taking a swipe at Bengaluru traffic. 'If this had happened in India, all English cricketers would tweet about how BCCI with so much funds is not solving Bangalore traffic issues,' wrote one user with multiple smiling emojis. 'Now we know what they meant by Bangalore being the most English among all Indian cities!' quipped in another user. This is not the first time that social media has been flooded with a wave of discussions on how nasty Bangalore traffic jams can get. In March, Bengaluru's never-ending traffic jams became the subject of satire after former Infosys director Mohandas Pai posted a humorous take on X (formerly Twitter). He announced a fictional 'Chaar Jam Yatra'—a four-day, three-night 'tour' through some of the city's worst traffic hotspots, including Outer Ring Road, Silkboard Junction, Marathahalli, and HSR Layout. Mohandas Pai's joke resonated with many Bengaluru residents who deal with daily traffic congestion, sparking widespread reactions online. Last month, Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath added to the discussion on Bengaluru's traffic. During his podcast, the Zerodha co-founder asked Bengaluru's Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic, MN Anucheth for a solution to the city's traffic woes. The top cop said that Bangalore has long struggled with inadequate public transportation options. Prior to the introduction of the metro system, the city's primary mode of public transit was limited to BMTC buses. Unlike cities such as Kolkata, which has trams, Delhi with its expansive metro network, or Mumbai with its well-established local trains, Bangalore lacked a diverse and efficient public transport system, he said.
