Virat Kohli was not a happy man after he got out during Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s 223 run-chase against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) faceoff at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (April 21). The incident happened in the first ball of the third over in which Kohli hit a high full-toss straight back to the bowler.
While initially it looked like, the ball was clearly above the waist height, the delivery was deemed a fair one by the umpires, forcing Kohli to walk back to the pavilion for 18 off 7. The right-handed batter not only had an animated chat with the umpire before he walked out but even a dustbin near the boundary ropes as he made his way back to the dugout.

KKR Beat RCB By 1 Run At Eden Gardens In Kolkata
In what turned out to be a last-ball thriller, KKR beat RCB by 1 run. After being invited to bat first, KKR first posted 222/6 riding on contributions from Phil Salt (48 off 14), Shreyas Iyer (50 off 36), Ramandeep Singh (24* off 9), Rinku Singh (24 off 16) and Andre Russell (27* off 20).
Russell then returned to finish with figures of 3/25 off his 3 overs, removing set batters Will Jacks (55 off 32) and Rajat Patidar (52 off 23) in the same over. In the end, Suyash Prabhudessai (24 off 18), Dinesh Karthik (25 off 18) and the most thrilling 20 off 7 from Karn Sharma took RCB near the finish line but with 3 needed off the last ball, Lockie Ferguson got run out, trying to get back for the second run as KKR pulled off a win.
