IPL 2023: Watch Virat Kohli’s Bizarre Dismissal in the CSK vs RCB Game

IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore took on Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 game on April 17 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the CSK vs RCB game, Virat Kohli suffered a bizarre dismissal against young CSK pacer Akash Singh that left the RCB fans including Anushka Sharma in shock.

The MS Dhoni-led CSK side put on a massive total of 226-6 in their 20 overs courtesy of brilliant knocks by Devon Conway and Shivam Dube. Conway scored 83 runs off 45 deliveries while Dube smashed 52 runs off just 27 balls including 5 monstrous sixes.

Royal Challengers Bangalore needed a blistering start from their openers Virat Kohli and skipper Faf du Plessis to chase down the mammoth total posted by CSK. Their star batter Virat Kohli clearly looked like playing under the influence of the required run rate.

IPL 2023: Virat Kohli’s bizarre dismissal against Akash Singh in the first over of the CSK vs RCB game

Kohli got a couple and then a boundary on the first two deliveries bowled by Akash Singh. The CSK pacer then bowled a yorker to prevent Kohli from scoring after which the star batter again looked to dominate the young bowler on the fourth delivery of the over.

Akash Singh bowled an inswinging delivery around the middle stump channel as Virat Kohli tried to make room to play an aggressive shot. He swung his bat really hard but could only manage an inside edge as the ball clipped his shoe and then ricocheted onto his off stump as the bail got dislodged.

Akash Singh and other CSK players knew the importance of the dismissal as they were all pumped up. On the other hand, RCB fans could not believe what had just happened and even Anushka Sharma was at a loss for words after watching the bizarre dismissal.

Royal Challengers Bangalore did manage to make a comeback after Virat Kohli’s dismissal as skipper Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell played stellar knocks for their side. Despite the brilliant knocks by the two RCB batters, the Virat Kohli starrer couldn’t chase down the total as their middle order failed to deliver in the CSK vs RCB game.
