Fans’ hearts are broken by Virat Kohli’s response after being removed against PBKS.

In IPL 2022, nothing is going well for Virat Kohli. The Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman got off to a good start against Punjab Kings, hitting two crisp boundaries off Arshdeep Singh in the second over of the RCB chase. He then announced himself by hitting a six off left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar, becoming the first cricketer in the Indian Premier League to reach 6500 runs. Kohli was soon dismissed in an unusual manner off Kagiso Rabada’s bowling, so the joy was short-lived. However, it was the former RCB captain’s subsequent reaction that went viral on social media.

Kohli was seen looking upwards and saying something along the lines of “what else do you want me to do?” before slowly walking back to the pavilion and scream again.

Rabada tucked Kohli up with a fast delivery that came back sharply, cramping the right-hander for space in the second ball of the third over. Kohli attempted a flick shot, but the ball brushed against his thigh pad and ballooned up into the air, landing in the fine leg fielder’s hands. The PBKS fielders raised their hands in protest, but the umpire simply shook his head.

Mayank Agarwal signalled for DRS almost immediately, and replays revealed a small spike as the ball passed Kohli’s gloves before hitting the top half of his front pad and landing in the fine-leg fielder’s hands.

Kohli was dismissed for 20 off 14 balls after the decision was reversed. Kohli’s heartbreaking reaction after being released was widely shared on social media.

Kohli has only scored 236 runs in 12 games, with an average of 19.

Meanwhile, RCB were defeated by the Punjab Kings by 54 runs at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. PBKS batted first and were led by Jonny Bairstow’s 29-ball 66 and Liam Livingstone’s powerful innings (70 off 42). They scored a whopping 209 for 9.

In response, RCB got off to a good start, but their innings quickly deteriorated after they lost three wickets between the fourth and fifth overs. Kagiso Rabada finished with 3 for 21 as the RCB innings was dismissed for 155.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
