Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner, Ravi Bishnoi dismissed the premier Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stalwart, Virat Kohli on his score of 31 during the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Ekana Sports City Stadium in Lucknow, on Monday. Bishnoi barred Kohli from completing the tally of 7000 runs in his IPL career.
Both RCB openers, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli joined an opening partnership of 62 runs. Their stand was put to an end by Ravi Bishnoi in the 9th over. The young spinner foxed Kohli as he stepped forward and got stumped by Nicholas Pooran.
Virat Kohli was eyeing to create history in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. The RCB’s star batter was just 43 runs away from becoming the first batter in the history of the tournament to surpass the tally of 7000 runs but after his dismissal, he is still 12 runs short from the milestone.

On the last ball of the 9th over, Ravi Bishnoi bowled a length ball outside off stump. Kohli comes down the track and tries to go inside out. Virat failed to get to the pitch of it, though, and the ball just sneaked past the flailing blade. Nicholas Pooran does the rest behind the stumps and Bishnoi broke RCB’s opening stand.
