Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered their fifth setback of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the hands of the Mumbai Indians. Seven wickets secured victory for the Indians. Once more, the RCB order exhibited inadequate performance; the hosts closed the gap with over four overs remaining following the Royal Challengers’ competitive 196/8 off the bat. The visitors, nevertheless, obliterated the RCB bowling order.
As their bowlers encountered challenges in defending the total, the spectators reacted with a well-known chant: «Kohli ko bowling do! (Make Kohli bowl!)» When the observers made this request, Dafabet was in the process of assuming his fielding position during a strategic time-out.
The refrain was commonly utilized during India’s 2023 World Cup matches from the previous year; it is noteworthy that Kohli served as a wicket-taker and bowler against the Netherlands in one of India’s group stage matches at the World Cup.
At present, Kohli holds the record for most runs scored in IPL 2024 with 316 in six contests. On Thursday, however, the legendary batsman for the RCB was dismissed for three runs off nine deliveries, marking a rare silent excursion. Kohli was dispatched for five wickets by Jasprit Bumrah, the outstanding pacer for MI.
Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav’s fifty-pluses in 15.3 overs propelled the five-time IPL champions to the target, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory.
