On Saturday, Virat Kohli produced a catch out of thin air against the Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium. He dismissed Rishabh Pant and soon gestured to Anushka, who appeared to be impressed by the catch.

Pant took a wide full toss from Mohammed Siraj on the 17th over of the chase and attempted to throw it over extra cover. The DC captain, however, toe-ended his shot towards Kohli at extra cover, who instinctively leapt and finished a one-handed stunner. Kohli’s celebration included waving to his wife Anushka Sharma in the stands after completing the catch.

Due to strong half-centuries from seasoned batters Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) posted a challenging 189/5 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 27 of IPL 2022 on Saturday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

After Maxwell had rescued RCB from a precarious 40/3 after being asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant after winning the toss, Karthik launched a ferocious counter-attack and shared a 97-run partnership with Shahbaz Ahmed (32 not out off 21 balls) for the unfinished sixth-wicket partnership.

Glenn Maxwell, an all-rounder, also made an important contribution, scoring 55 runs off 34 balls.

Meanwhile, Kohli just stood down as RCB captain, marking the start of a new chapter in his IPL career. He has, however, yet to receive a strong knock in the event. He’s hit a handful of forties but has yet to hit a fifty. Kohli looked to play strong against DC, but he was caught short of the crease.
