Virat Kohli has returned to the pavilion on a full toss in the match being played against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. However, he expressed his displeasure over the umpire’s decision and was seen arguing for a long time. Virat Kohli had an explosive start against Kolkata. Royal Challengers Bangalore had scored 27 runs without losing any wickets in the first two overs but Virat Kohli had to return to the pavilion on the very first ball of the third over. A lot of controversy has arisen over the decision of his dismissal.
Batting first, Kolkata Knight Riders scored 222 runs losing 6 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer scored the highest 50 runs for Kolkata. Harshit Rana dismissed Virat Kohli on the first ball of the third over of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s innings. Harshit gave a slower full toss on the very first ball, which Virat Kohli, who was playing outside the crease, could not understand and sat down to bat, Harshit took an easy catch in his follow-through.
However, after seeing the field umpire, Virat decided to take immediate review. The umpire then told him that he was going to check it himself. After some time, the third umpire declared it a correct ball and gave Kohli out. However, Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis seemed unhappy with the umpire’s decision and were seen continuously arguing with the umpire, the video of which is going viral on social media. However, according to cricket experts, the dismissal given to Virat Kohli is correct as per the rules.
Virat Kohli was standing outside the crease and due to the slower ball, it was going downwards, which made it easier for the umpire to take the decision. In IPL 2024, now the height and waist of the players have been measured, due to which the umpires can decide on dismissing the players in less time through the smart review system. In this match, KKR is in the lead by just 1 run.
