In a nail-biting IPL clash at Eden Gardens on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered a heartbreaking loss by just one run against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The match, which kept fans on the edge of their seats until the last ball, ended with RCB failing to chase down a target of 223 runs, finishing at 221. Despite half-centuries from Will Jacks (55 off 32 balls) and Rajat Patidar (52 off 23 balls), RCB couldn't seal the win. The opening squad, including Virat Kohli, showed promise but fell short, leading to the team's defeat. However, the main highlight was Virat Kohli's fiery exchange with the umpires early in the innings.
The controversy erupted when Kohli was dismissed by Harshit Rana's delivery, which he perceived as a high full-toss, potentially a no-ball. Despite his insistence, the third umpire did not declare it a no-ball, adjudging it a legitimate delivery. Kohli's reaction was intense as he argued vehemently on the field, believing it should have been a no-ball. His frustration was evident as he stormed off to the pavilion, striking the bat on the ground in anger. This incident has now gone viral on social media, sparking widespread debate among fans and officials alike.
