Chennai Super Kings' young wicketkeeper-batter Vansh Bedi recounted a humorous interaction with Virat Kohli during IPL 2025. Following a match between CSK and RCB, Bedi, Kohli, and MS Dhoni were posing for a photograph.
Bedi, noticing Kohli was positioned on a lower step, lightheartedly suggested they all stand on the same level, emphasizing that "we are all equal" on the cricket field. The remark drew laughter from both Kohli and Dhoni.
The incident, captured in a viral photo, showcases the camaraderie and respect between players, even amidst intense competition. Bedi's comment, though seemingly simple, resonated with fans as a message of equality within the sport.
While Bedi did not get a chance to play alongside Dhoni and Kohli in that particular match, the off-field moment created a lasting memory for the young cricketer.
“I was standing on the upper staircase, and he (Virat Kohli) was standing on the lower staircase. I just told him that we all come to the same staircase when we are all playing at the same place, so we are all equal.”
