The Mumbai Indians defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, inflicting their fifth defeat of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Seven wickets contributed to the Indians’ victory. Once more, the Royal Challengers’ order demonstrated insufficient performance; with more than four overs remaining, the hosts closed the margin after the Royal Challengers’ competitive 196/8 off the bat. However, the visiting team completely destroyed the RCB bowling order.
The spectators responded to the difficulties their bowlers confronted in defending the total with a widely recognized chant: « Kohli ko bowling do! (Make Kohli bowl!) » Virat Kohli was in the process of assuming his fielding position during a strategic time-out when the observers put forth this inquiry.
The refrain was frequently employed in the course of India’s 2023 World Cup matches from the previous year. It is worth mentioning that Kohli participated in one of India’s group stage matches at the World Cup, where he assumed the dual role of wicket-taker and bowler against the Netherlands.
Currently, with 316 runs scored in six contests, Kohli retains the record for most runs scored in Dafabet IPL 2024. However, the legendary RCB batsman was dismissed for three runs off nine deliveries on Thursday, signaling an uncommon silent excursion. Kohli was dismissed for five wickets by the exceptional pacer for MI, Jasprit Bumrah.
The five-time IPL champions reached the target with the assistance of fifty-plus scores from Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in 15.3 overs, thereby securing a comprehensive seven-wicket triumph.
