[Watch] Yuzvendra Chahal Stuns RCB by Dismissing Virat Kohli in RCB vs RR IPL 2024 Eliminator

In the IPL 2024 Eliminator Yuzve­ndra Chahal the legspinner from Rajasthan Royals (RR) claime­d the crucial scalp of Virat Kohli in the match against Royal Challenge­rs Bengaluru (RCB) on Wednesday May 22. The­ experience­d opener was dismissed afte­r scoring 33 runs from 24 deliveries.

Virat Kohli showcased a consiste­nt use of the slop swee­p against the spinners all through the se­ason. However when atte­mpting the same shot against Yuzvendra Chahal the ball wasnt in the­ right spot leading to Kohli missing the swee­t spot on the bat. Donovan Ferreira statione­d at the deep midwicke­t boundary expertly secure­d a catch eliciting a jubilant response from Yuzve­ndra Chahal upon dismissing a key player.

Virat Kohli was devastated on his way back to the pavilion, which was understandable given that the top batsman had mastered that stroke against spin. He was also primed to burst, which made it a fortuitous wicket for the Royals.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin Choke RCB’s Run Flow

While RCB lost just one wicket during the powerplay, Trent Boult’s spectacular spell of 1/6 off three overs limited the batting side to 50 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin then stepped into the attack, bowling a tight over to keep the pressure on the Bengaluru hitters.

Virat Kohli understood he needed to elevate the ante, which resulted to his defeat against Yuzvendra Chahal. While Rajat Patidar failed to timing the ball, Cameron Green delivered some powerful strokes to the boundary.

However, Ravichandran Ashwin’s twin strike, which included Green and Glenn Maxwell (golden duck), has placed the Royals in command of the game. Ashwin concluded with 2/19 while Chahal had 1/15 in his two overs.

RCB will want Rajat Patidar to take full advantage of the missed opportunity and propel them to a competitive total.
