We were all waiting for a Virat Kohli masterclass against the Mumbai Indians today but unfortunately, it turned out to be an anti-climax as the legendary cricketer endured a painstaking 11-ball 3, extending his lean run of form.
It was quite an uncharacteristic knock from Virat. He looked uncharacteristically nervous in his footmark, a vivid reflection of a batsman searching for runs.
Rahul Chahar deserved the wicket as he had troubled Virat throughout the innings, eventually inducing thee legendary batsman into an ill-fated drive, only for Rohit Sharma to catch it at short-cover.

Earlier, Aaron Finch and Devdutt Padikkal got RCB to a flying start as the duo smashed 59 runs in the first powerplay, Aaron Finch thew caution to the winds, smashing the likes of Trent Boult, James Pattinson, and Rahul Chahar with whirlwind strokes.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is now averaging 6 after three games of the IPL and his millions of fans will hope that the champion batsman and the highest run-getter in the history of the competition finally regains his touch.
