In the first game of the 14th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), there is a lot going on on the field. Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Mumbai Indians by 2 wickets in their last match. RCB’s fielders were slow in the game and the team also took several catches. Known for his amazing fielding, Captain Virat Kohli himself dropped Crunal Pandya’s catch. In the process of catching this catch, Virat was severely injured and escaped.

In fact, in the first over of the 19th over of the Mumbai Indians’ innings, Krunal Pandya hit Kyle Jamison in mid-air towards Midaf, where the fielding Virat was unable to judge the catch and the ball was in his eyes. She came down and started fast. After this, Kohli left the field for just a minute to test himself and reached the field again. Following this, the RCB captain also fell to opener for the team and made a significant contribution to victory by scoring 33 runs off 29 balls.
5 Big Things From De Villiers Innings to Herschel’s ‘Claws’
Captain Kohli played for the RCB in the first season, winning the fast bowler Herschel Patel and Glenn Maxwell’s first match against the Mumbai Indians. He said, ‘We have traded Harshal from Delhi. He handled his responsibilities well and was very clear about his plan. His performance in today’s game was a big difference. He will be our death bowler. We wanted to feed Maxwell in fourth place. The idea was to give Maxwell some balls to play as he didn’t have to hit the crease as soon as he arrived. You see the result where they played 10 to 15 balls. His innings was a game changer. If they were in the crease, we would probably have finished the match early.
