In the match played between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore Yesterday, there came a moment when Kohli was dismissed. While a number of dismissals happen in a match, Kohli's yesterday's dismissal was a special one. Afghan player Mujeeb ul Rehman proved exactly why he has been paid Rs 4 crore by Punjab this IPL.
However, the recent dismissal of Virat Kohli by the ace spinner has received applause from all over.
Chasing the modest target of 156, RCB lost Brendon McCullum in the very first over of the innings but after that Virat Kohli looked to have found his lost form after disappointing in the opener against Kolkata Knight Riders. The India skipper played some fine shots and swiftly moved to 21 but before he could turn that into a bigger total, KXIP skipper R Ashwin handed the task of getting rid of Kohli to Mujeeb and he did the task really well.
Mujeeb delivered a googly back of his hand that went past Virat Kohli and left one of the best batsmen in the world cricket, stunned.
Not many spinners in world cricket got through the gate of Virat Kohli. More so when Virat has hardly got out to spinners in IPL in the last few years. This is a ripper from Mujeeb.
