On August 10, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) got the government's confirmation to proceed with the IPL in the UAE. Brijesh Patel, the chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL) announced the approval on Monday. While teams are getting ready to train before leaving for Dubai for the tournament, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) recently expressed their wish for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli to become a part of their team.

On August 9, a fan tweeted an edited photo of Virat Kohli wearing the Rajasthan Royals jersey. They captioned the image with a "Royals Welcomes The KING". The Rajasthan team replied to the Twitter user, retweeting the edited photo. However, they added a clause of their own, stating that they only want Kohli in their team if he brings Mr Nags with him.
Who is Mr Nags?
Mr Nags is a popular member of the Royal Challengers Bangalore staff, who is often conducting funny interviews of the team's players. During the IPL season, fans look forward to his show 'RCB Insider'. Fans joked about not wanting the King of Cricket on the squad, saying that they have been doing better without him. As of now, Kohli is the only player in the IPL to have played all seasons with one team. While Kohli is the highest run-scorer in the league, RCB are yet to win a title.
