Virat Kohli suffered a bizarre dismissal against Chennai Super Kings with Akash Deep celebrating his wicket whereas Anushka Sharma looked stunned
Virat Kohli had an off day against Chennai Super Kings as the Royal Challengers Bangalore opener was dismissed on the fourth ball as RCB came out to chase CSK’s total of 226 runs. Kohli suffered a bizarre dismissal and his wife Anushka Sharma’s stunned reaction in the stands summed up the mood of the RCB fans once Virat had to depart.
The 34-year-old came into this match on the back of a fifty and a Player of the Match award in RCB’s win against Delhi Capitals by 23 runs but Virat couldn’t continue his rich vein of form and had to depart early.
