Virat Kohli, the talismanic figure of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), was in top form against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Not only did he smash a brilliant 92 with the bat, but he also showcased his exceptional fielding skills with a spectacular run-out.
Watch Kohli pull off a sensational run out
While his knock grabbed much attention, his fielding brilliance deserves equal recognition as well. Shashank Singh, playing a crucial knock (37 off 19) for PBKS, was looking like a real threat. However, Kohli had other plans. In a moment of pure athleticism, Kohli covered significant ground, dived full length, and unleashed a rocket throw that found Shashank just short of his crease.
The brilliance of the dismissal lay not just in the distance covered, but also in the execution. Kohli was slightly off balance while releasing the throw, adding another layer of difficulty to the feat. The sheer determination and awareness Kohli displayed in effecting the run-out were truly commendable. His own reactions following the run-out was there to see as well!
