Young Malavika was waiting at the lobby since morning. On being told that Kohli is at the restaurant to have lunch with his RCB teammate Shane Watson , Malavika rushed to meet him. But was stopped by the security personnel to meet Virat. She waited eagerly to get noticed by Virat. It did happen after about half an hour, as Virat called her towards him.

Mrs Roy, accompanied by her grandson Troy was at the ITC to meet the RCB cricketers particularly Gayle , De Villiers and Kohli.
Meanwhile the inspirational Royal Challengers Bangalore leader is ready to play through pain against Kings XI Punjab with multiple stitches in his split webbing in another must-win IP encounter, here on Wednesday.
Kohli sustained split webbing in his left hand while fielding against Kolkata Knight Riders as he went for a diving catch. He left the field briefly to get medical assistance, got his webbing taped and was back in field. He then played another classy knock to keep RCB’s play-off qualification hopes alive.
“I might need 7-8 stitches,” Kohli had said after the match but if KXIP thought that the opposition skipper will make himself unavailable, they would be in for disappointment as RCB’s manager Avinash Vaidya said that India’s No 1 batsman will be playing on Wednesday.
