Fans are excited as the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has already commenced. The 6th match of the IPL 2022 was played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first as expected. Bangalore’s young pacer Akash Deep managed to get a couple of wickets in quick succession. Later, Mohammad Siraj strikes with a short ball.
In the middle overs when Sam Billings and Andre Russell were building the partnership RCB’s new skipper, Faf du Plessis decided to bring Harshal Patel back in the attack as soon as he came, he struck and managed to get the wicket of Sam Billings cheaply. It was a short length slower ball; Billings was unable to judge the speed of the ball and sent the ball into the hands of Virat Kohli standing at Long on.

After taking the catch, Virat Kohli looked at Faf Du Plessis and smiled, and gave an epic reaction. Kohli seems to be enjoying his time on the field and now, even more, when he does not have the burden of captaincy. His reaction came as RCB are dominating KKR in their IPL 2022 match.
Here is the video of the catch from Virat Kohli:

Here is how the fans reacted to the hilarious catch from Virat Kohli:
Poor shot from Sam Billings who had 10 overs to bat and take the total to respectability in the company of Andre Russell. Billings has been at few franchises now and his opportunities will run out sooner rather than later. #IPL2022 #RCBvKKR
