During the 35th match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Pune, Chennai Super Kings’ Ravindra Jadeja bowled Kohli in a manner which left everyone with a feeling of awe. It wasn’t just the audiences who were amazed, both the batsman and the bowler were also not sure as to what had happened.
MS Dhoni, captain of Chennai Super Kings, had won the toss and chose to field. Chennai Super Kings made three changes to their playing eleven, bringing back Shardul Thakur and handing respective IPL debuts to Dhruv Shorey and David Willey. Faf du Plessis, Karn Sharma and KM Asif made way for them. Royal Challengers Bangalore also made three changes to their side. They brought in Parthiv Patel, AB de Villiers & Murugan Ashwin in place of Quinton de Kock, Manan Vohra & Washington Sundar.
Virat Kohli had come in to bat at No. 3 in the second over when Brendon McCullum was dismissed by Lungi Ngidi. After a decent powerplay, the onus was on Kohli to post a substantial score. However, he got out on the first ball after the powerplay.
Ravindra Jadeja, who was just introduced into the attack, picked up a wicket with the first ball that he bowled. He bowled an arm ball to which Kohli tried to play the dab towards short third-man. After Kohli missed the ball, there was no way which could have prevented it from hitting the stumps. Kohli ended up scoring 8 (11) with the help of one four.

Jadeja didn’t celebrate after dismissing Kohli despite the fact that it was the most prized wicket. It was the expression of Virat and Jaddu which said it all after the dismissal. The Twitterati manipulated very indifferent meanings of those expressions from both the players. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
Does this give some evidence of match mixing ..? I mean anyone who would take Virat’s wicket does over the moon celebration … but here Jadeja’s reaction says oops I was not suppose to get him out now ! What d hell I did ? #CSKvRCB pic.twitter.com/4NAYhd3lP6
