Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper, Virat Kohli seemed to be all set to take the team over the line against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The game was almost over with the Challengers within two hits of a win, Rohit Sharma decided to give the ball to young Dewald Brevis, who is popularly known as ‘Baby AB’.
Not renowned for his bowling attributes, Dewald Brevis trapped Virat Kohli in front with his very first ball in IPL and the umpire raised his finger. However, Kohli had no hesitation in taking the DRS call straight away as he was sure he hit the ball, but in the replays, it seemed that the ball had touched the bat, however, there was no spike on snicko and in the Hawkeye view, the ball was hitting the stumps. Kohli was dismissed for 48 off 36 balls, yet RCB won the match by seven wickets.
Here is the video of the dismissal:
RCB is looking better and better as the tournament progresses. Also, it seems that Kohli is in a good space. Ex-India cricketer Ravi Shastri praised how he was ready to take the aggressive route and was impressed with the way he ran.
