WATCH: Virat Kohli plays football during RCB's practice session ahead of match against Rajasthan Royals

Football is a huge part of Virat Kohli's life and he keeps showing his skills now and then. In a video that went viral on social media, the star batter of RCB was seen enjoying football along with his RCB teammates ahead of the match against the Rajasthan Royals. The Royals will be facing each other on the 19th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which is set to take place in the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. 

While the Rajasthan Royals are unbeaten in the tournament, this seems to be an easy game for them. However, as always RCB is struggling after winning one game out of four. Also, they have lost two home games as well. Hence, the pressure is more in the visitors' dugout as compared to the hosts. Moreover, both teams will be hoping to have a contesting match like all other matches in the IPL.

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Sanju Samson and Trent Boult when the teams will play against each other. While Virat is in form, RCB's other players need to step up in order to be a part of the race. If they continue to lose matches in a trot, they'll surely be out of the tournament before any other team. 

"So a lot of pressure is on him..." - Steven Smith on Virat Kohli ahead of clash against RR

Virat Kohli is one of the most consistent players of the IPL and is also the leading run-scorer. Apart from this, he is also present on the list of the Orange Cap holders and will definitely win it back after today's game. However, he lacks support during the game from other batters which is a disadvantage for the entire team. Even Australia's star batter Steven Smith feels that it's high time for other key batters to step up as it's putting immense pressure on Kohli. 

"He needs the other key batters to stand up with him, and if they do that, they can turn things around for their season. But, at the moment, they're not, so a lot of pressure is on Virat. I doubt he'd be putting extra pressure on himself. Some of the other top-order and middle-order need to help Virat," Smith was quoted as saying to the PTI.
