Punjab Kings set a mammoth target of 210 against RCB with the help of fiery half-centuries by Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone and fans expected Virat Kohli to fire last night and lead the chase for the RCB.
Opening the batting for RCB and skipper Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli looked in his groove as he smashed 2 fours in the 1st over of Arshdeen Singh.
In the second ball of the third over Rabada tucked Kohli up with a fast delivery that came back sharply, cramping the right-hander for the room. Kohli tried to play the flick shot but the ball brushed his thigh pad and ballooned up in the air to the fine leg fielder. The PBKS fielders went up in appeal but the umpire shook his head.
It took no time for Mayank Agarwal to signal for DRS and replays showed a little spike when the ball was passing Kohli's gloves before hitting the top half of his front pad and landing in the fine-leg fielder's hands.
