Virat Kohli left fuming after being bowled by Jason Holder in RCB vs GT clash

Virat Kohli looked utterly frustrated after being dismissed off Jason Holder's short ball following two massive sixes of the bowler's two previous deliveries. Kohli missed his ninth IPL century by inches.

Following a stunning start by Sai Sudharsan, the left-handed youngster who might be the future of Indian cricket, leading his team off to a flyer with a century, the Indian veteran Virat Kohli stole the show with some breathtaking aura in the second innings of the game.

Virat Kohli is often called the chasemaster for his excellent proficiency during chases, and he once again delivered his very best. However, this would remain a highlight that he was dropped for a duck on the very first ball he faced in the game.

Virat Kohli was visibly frustrated after shocking dismissal off Jason Holder

The RCB veteran was put down just once, and that never gave him the slightest opportunity to hand another to the opposition. He looked in smacking form and hit some of the best shots in the game, reaching those 81 runs in no time.

He smacked Jason Holder for two massive sixes, playing two of the finest cricketing shots in the match. After having smoked Holder straight over the bowler's head, Kohli misread a slower bouncer from Holder and played it on to the stumps.

Kohli looked frustrated as he left the crease in utter disbelief and slammed the bat to his pads out of frustration. Kohli leaves after a stunning innings and taking the game away from the clutches of the Titans.

Virat Kohli climbs backs to the top of the Orange Cap leaderboard

Virat Kohli has once again topped the Orange Cap list after having played seven matches. Kohli was once again seen in his most dangerous avatar after the veteran was dropped for a duck.

While Shubman Gill could manage just 32 runs on this occasion and missed out on his chance to go past the SRH batting duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma. Kohli got the job done with a terrific 81 runs in the innings against the Gujarat Titans.

Now with 328 runs at the top of the order, Kohli has averaged 54.67 and has struck at a whopping strike rate on this occasion. The orange crown is now back at the top of the king's head.

Wickets crumble, but RCB thrives with Krunal's cameo

After Devdut Padikkal was dismissed by Rashid Khan, the veteran spinner, Virat Kohli's wicket also followed in the next over with Jason Holder taking the ball under his control after being hit for two massive sixes.

Wickets kept falling as Rashid picked the wicket of Jitesh Sharma in the next over and then Manav Suthar returned with the wicket of the RCB skipper. RCB looked in some trouble; however, with Tim David still at the crease, the game never slipped away from RCB's hand.

Krunal Pandya, who had given away 18 runs in the final over of the game, went on to score 23 runs off just 12 balls, as he took charge against the spinner Manav Suthar and smacked him for two fours and a massive six, thus winning the game for the Challengers.
