Fans watching the Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru clash in Jaipur witnessed a rare moment when Virat Kohli dropped a catch to dismiss Dhruv Jurel from action. The moment was indeed shocking, as Kohli is known to have laser-sharp focus and insane agility in the game. Criticism galore after Kohli dropped a massive chance for a dismissal. Even Virender Sehwag wasn't happy with Kohli fumbling the catch.
Virat Kohli Gets Heavily Trolled By Virender Sehwag After Dropping A Sitter
The moment happened during the 17th over when Dhruv Jurel faced a full delivery off Suyash Sharma. Jurel smacked it forward and thrust it towards long-off, where Virat Kohli was stationed. While Kohli was in a position to make the catch, he failed to hold a proper grip on the ball and it got dropped. Virat looked frustrated after the fumble as he tossed the ball back with aggression, understanding how big of a chance he had dropped.
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, who was on commentary duties for the RR vs RCB clash, did not show remorse towards Kohli as he took a massive dig over the India superstar. When Devdutt Padikkal took a spectacular catch near the ropes, Sehwag made a remark which was also a light-hearted dig over Kohli.
"Shukr hai Kohli nahi the waha," Virender Sehwag remarked, which elicited laughter among his fellow commentators.
