Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a do-or-die match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday.
Ahead of the crunch game, Virat Kohli and his band of brothers enjoyed a sumptuous meal at team-mate Mohammed Siraj's house in Hyderabad.

A consistent SRH unit would look to consolidate its position at the top of the points table while RCB will fight for survival when they clash on Monday.
Courtesy their splendid bowling attack, SRH emerged as good defenders initially but by defeating Delhi Daredevils with a seven-wicket margin on Saturday, they proved that they can pull off tight chases as well.
The hosts have already taken long strides towards a play-offs spot but still there are issues that must be bothering them ahead of the business end of the tournament. Opener Shikhar Dhawan's low strike rate must be a concern for them along with a shaky middle-order.
The Virat Kohli-led RCB, though, are struggling for survival as they need to win every game and also hope that other results go in their favour to remain in contention for the Play-Offs. They are placed sixth in the table with just three wins from nine games.
