On Tuesday, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got back their winning momentum after some fine bowling performance and defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 31 that played out to be a thriller. However, during the match, missed out on a golden chance to dismiss the RCB skipper Virat Kohli as they failed to realize that he had edged the ball.

The incident took place in the 14th over of RCB’s innings, when MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowled a short pitch delivery to Virat which he edged to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. But neither the bowler nor wicketkeeper or anyone from the MI team was interested and thus the on-field umpire Nitin Menon couldn’t intervene. The replays also showed that Kohli had edged the ball. Even the snick-o-meter confirmed the moment when the ball went past Kohli’s bat.

After the end of RCB’s innings, Bumrah was asked about it and he said he got to know from the dugout that the Virat had indeed edged the ball and was actually out. The incident didn’t really hurt the team as Kohli in the next over was dismissed by Hardik Pandya without a lot of damage.

He said, “I got to hear from dug-out that he (Virat Kohli) was out and I heard that it was an edge. I didn’t hear the edge, even the wicketkeeper didn’t hear it. But that’s ok. In the next over Hardik (Pandya) got his wicket so I am really happy.”

Here is the interview:

After the incident, Kohli only managed to add just 8 more runs as he lost his wicket to Pandya in the 18th over. On the other hand, for the defending champions, Hardik was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/28 while Mayank Markande, McClenaghan and Jasprit Bumrah bagged a wicket each. Mumbai failed the chase the target down and lost the match by 14 runs.
