Virat Kohli was out after scoring 20 runs
Ravindra caught Kohli on Mustafizur’s ball.
New Delhi. In the very first match of IPL 2024, Ajinkya Rahane made everyone crazy with his fielding. At the age of 35, Virat Kohli had to return to the pavilion due to the excellent fielding of ‘Ajju’. In the first match of the season against Chennai Super Kings, former RCB captain Kohli was gradually increasing his innings. He tried to hit Mustafizur Rahman for a six on the second ball of the 12th over of the innings but he was caught at deep midwicket. Along with the bowler, the tremendous fielding of Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra also contributed in sending Kohli to the pavilion, who with their intelligence took the catch near the boundary.
Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman brought the 12th over of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s innings. Kohli tried to pull the second ball of this over. The speed of the ball was not much but Kohli tried to generate power. The ball was going towards midwicket where Ajinkya Rahane was fielding. Rahane took the catch by sliding while running towards the right but seeing his balance deteriorating near the boundary, he threw the ball in the air. Rachin Ravindra came running from deep backward square leg and caught the ball. Rahane’s mind has to be praised here.
Kohli made ‘Virat’ record in the first match of IPL 2024, became the first Indian to achieve this feat.
I am nervous… I am nervous… Indian wicketkeeper has not held the bat for one and a half years, said – I just want to live this moment
