Mumbai: The 2022 IPL season is not going to be as good as Virat Kohli’s former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli, who has scored 40 runs only twice, is yet to complete his half-century. Kohli did not shine for Bangalore in Saturday’s match against Delhi Capitals. Kohli, who scored just 12 runs, was run out.
Though Kohli was unable to make a significant impact against Delhi with the bat, that was not the story on the field. Kohli made his presence known by changing the course of the match with a smashing catch. Kohli chased down Delhi skipper Rishabh after chasing a 190-run target. In the 17th over, Rishabh hit eight off the first two balls bowled by Mohammad Siraj.
The Delhi Capitals then needed 48 off 22 balls to win. It was a win-win for Delhi, who have the best batting line-up. But Kohli changed the course of the game with a superb catch. The third ball of the 17th over was bowled by Siraj Fultosa. The ball hit the cover and went over Kohli’s head. Kohli jumped accurately and caught the ball with one hand.
This time his wife Anushka Sharma is laughing and watching from Kohli’s catch gallery. Kohli, who was caught, looked at his wife and gestured ‘V’ with his hand. The video of Kohli’s catch and the celebration that followed went viral on social media. Captain Rishabh was dismissed in the 17th over for chasing the 190-run target as the Delhi Capitals were reduced to 173 for seven in 20 overs.
