The trio of Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis, now collectively known as KGF -- a term picked by some RCB fans; a hat-tip to the superhit Kannada movie -- were seen in full flow at practice, prepping for their next challenge.'

'K.G.F. Hustle Mode. Gotta keep pushing forward no matter how big the hurdle is! #PlayBold#ನಮ್ಮRCB#IPL2023#Choosebold#RoyalChallenge,' a caption alongside pictures of the trio in training read.
