Virat Kohli looked quite disappointed after being dismissed by a short ball from Jason Holder after hitting two powerful sixes on the bowler’s last two balls. Kohli missed his ninth IPL century by inches.
After a brilliant start from Sai Sudarshan, the young left-hander who could be the future of Indian cricket, who gave his team the lead with a century, Indian veteran Virat Kohli stole the show with some breathtaking aura in the second innings of the game.
Virat Kohli is often called the chasemaster for his excellent efficiency during chases and he once again gave his best performance. However, it will be a highlight that he was dismissed for a duck on the very first ball he faced in the game.
Virat Kohli looked very disappointed after being out on the ball of Jason Holder.
The experienced RCB player had to face defeat only once and that did not give him even the slightest chance to give the opposition a second chance. He looked in great form and hit some great shots in the game and reached 81 runs in no time.
He played two excellent cricket shots in the match and hit two skyscraper sixes on Jason Holder. After Holder hit it straight over the bowler’s head, Kohli misread Holder’s slower bouncer and played it onto the stumps.
Kohli looked disappointed and left the crease in complete disbelief and slammed the bat on his pads in frustration. Kohli played a brilliant innings and snatched the match from the clutches of the Titans.
