IPL 2023: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis stunned as RCB miss easy run out chance vs SRH

Royal Challengers Bangalore are currently locking horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 65 of IPL 2023. During the third over of the match, RCB missed a run-out chance of Rahul Tripathi, leaving skipper Faf du Plessis and veteran batter Virat Kohli stunned. Shahbaz Ahmed, who was fielding at backward point, picked up the ball and took aim at the stumps at the non-striker's end but missed it by an inch.

Mohammed Siraj, who was bowling the over, was supposed to collect the ball at the bowler's end but he was nowhere to be seen resulting in the missed run-out chance. Both Kohli and Du Plessis were left stunned as RCB missed an easy run-out chance. Meanwhile, Tripathi was eventually dismissed in the fifth over by Michael Bracewell. Tripathi went back to the pavilion after hitting 15 off 12 balls.
