Rajasthan Royals Hilariously Troll Virat Kohli After Yuzvendra Chahal Runs Him Out; Post Goes VIRAL

Mumbai: The battle of the Royals on Tuesday held a lot of attention because Yuzvendra Chahal would be against Virat Kohli for the first time in IPL history. But as it turned out, it ended as an anti-climax as Kohli was run out by his former RCB mate for five off six balls.

Following Kohli’s dismissal, the Rajasthan Royals camp were over the moon as it was just the wicket the Rajasthan side needed. They got so happy that the admin of the franchise took to Twitter and subtly roasted the ex-RCB captain. The tweet read: “When your ex comes back to haunt you.”

When your ex comes back to haunt you! 😜

The incident took place in the ninth over and Sanju Samson needs to be given a lot of credit for it. Kohli was run out at the non-strikers end and his fault was – he was backing a little too far.

Chasing 170 to win, RCB got off to a steady start thanks to their openers – Faf Du Plessis and Anuj Rawat – who put on 55. But once the RCB captain perished, wickets fell quickly. Kohli and David Willey departed of consecutive balls.

Earlier in the day, Jos Buttler’s 70* off 47 balls helped Rajasthan post 169 for three in 20 overs. Initially, Buttler struggled but he made up for it in the backend with some lusty blows. Harshal Patel, who conceded merely 18 runs and picked up a wicket was the best RCB bowler on display today.

At the time of filing the copy, RCB look in a commanding position thanks to Dinesh Karthik’s late blitz. RCB need 18 off 15 balls.
