Srinagar, May 28: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were knocked out of IPL 2022 but the spirit of cricket, gesture from its star batsman Virat Kohli has gone viral with fans applauding former skipper.
During the first over of the RCB innings, Kohli played a flick toward square leg and ran for a quick single. Jos Buttler dived and attempted a direct hit, but Kohli was safely home. The ball didn’t hit the stumps but it deflected off Kohli’s bat, forcing the RR fielder at the other end to go off for a chase.
However, the RCB star put his hand up, signaling that he won’t be taking another run and further pointing towards himself, acknowledging that the ball had deflected off him.
Kohli hit an audacious flick over deep midwicket for a six later in the over that raised the expectations from the former RCB captain. However, he was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna in the second over of the game after he nicked a short-pitched delivery outside-off for keeper Sanju Samson to take an easy catch.
