Virat Kohli displayed frustration following a contentious dismissal during the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League season 2024.
Harshit Rana outwitted the former RCB skipper with a slower full toss delivery, resulting in Kohli’s departure after scoring 18 runs off 7 balls. This incident occurred as RCB attempted to chase down a formidable target of 223 runs at the Eden Gardens.
Despite having a disappointing performance in the thrilling final-over match between RCB and KKR, Kohli, the former captain of India, was able to increase his lead over Australia’s Travis Head in the Orange Cap standings.
