During Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik’s birthday celebrations, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) keeper-batter Jitesh Sharma hilariously declined the invitation to smear cake on Virat Kohli’s face. In a video that Royal Challengers posted of the celebrations, all-rounder Liam Livingstone was heard encouraging that Jitesh give Kohli a go.
On June 1, Patidar and Karthik both celebrate their birthdays, and during the celebration, cake was all over their faces. Among those who took part in the same activity was Jitesh. When Livingstone demanded that he should do the same to Kohli, the explosive keeper-batter straightly declined.

Jitesh, who joined the Royal Challengers after playing for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) for three seasons, gave the team a top-two finish in their most recent league game by hitting an incredible 85 against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). In Qualifier 1, RCB defeated PBKS by eight wickets, and the 31-year-old’s batting abilities were equally outstanding.
RCB reach their fourth IPL final
RCB is making it to an IPL final for the fourth time. The Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated the Bengaluru-based team in the 2009, 2011 and 2016 finals, respectively.
Punjab Kings have reached their second ever final in the IPL, meanwhile. The summit clash was also lost by them to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2014.
Punjab Kings went down to Royal Challengers in Qualifier 1 but Shreyas Iyer and Co. took their second shot with both hands and edged out Mumbai Indians to qualify for the final.
