Watch: Nehal Wadhera's brilliant fielding effort in vain as Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal complete an all-run 4

Fans got to see a rare sight, as Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli stole four runs against Arshdeep Singh in a fielding blunder during the ongoing 37th IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Mullanpur.

Arshdeep Singh bowled a length delivery on middle, and Devdutt Padikkal gently tucked it towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder Nehal Wadhera had just been moved finer and had to sprint a long way to reach the ball.

Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli both have been batting brilliantly, and they had added more than 100 runs for the third wicket before Nehal Wadhera completed his unfinished work.

Harpreet Brar provided a much-needed breakthrough for Punjab Kings by removing the well-set Padikkal at a crucial moment. Padikkal, who was at 61 runs off just 35 balls with 5 fours and 4 sixes, tried to go big once again.

He stepped down the track to a tossed-up delivery from Harpreet, aiming to clear the long-on boundary. But this time, the RCB star mistimed the shot completely. The ball went high up in the air rather than long, and Nehal Wadhera, positioned at long-on, judged it perfectly.

He settled under the ball and took an easy and perfect catch to bring PBKS back into the game. However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru still have 8 wickets in hand while chasing the modest target of 158 runs against the Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.

Virat Kohli creates history with 67th 50+ Score in the IPL

Kohli has also smacked his 59th IPL fifty, and he is looking to take the RCB over the line against the PBKS. The dashing right-hander has been brilliant while chasing in the ongoing IPL 2025. He scored 59* off 36 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders, 62 off 45 against Rajasthan Royals, and 50* off 43 against Punjab Kings.

Interestingly, in his last five matches against PBKS, Kohli’s scores read—59, 77, 92, 1, and now 70*. Additionally, Kohli becomes the player with the most 50+ scores in IPL history with his knock in the ongoing clash in Mullanpur. The former RCB skipper is leading the chart for the most 50+ scores in IPL history with 67, including 8 centuries to his name.

Former Australian opener David Warner follows Kohli closely with 66. Warner has also hammered 4 hundreds in the IPL. Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is at the third spot with 53 50+ scores in IPL and 2 hundreds to his name. The Indian captain Rohit Sharma has 45 50+ scores in the tournament, while KL Rahul and AB de Villiers both have 43 50+ scores in IPL each.
