A fiery ongoing match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings is producing some intense moments. Well, a thrilling moment came when RCB’s former skipper, Virat Kohli, was hit on the helmet by a 142 km/h short ball from CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana. This incident happened on the first ball of the 11th over when Kohli attempted to hook the bouncer, but the ball struck his helmet directly.
RCB’s physio and support staff rushed onto the field to conduct a mandatory concussion test. However, Kohli gave a thumbs-up, signaling that he was completely fine and ready to continue playing. But what he did after that truly showed why he is a champion.
Blow taken, blows delivered
Runs and just runs! On the next two deliveries, Kohli once again showcased his class and determination. First, he smashed a powerful six over deep square leg, followed by a stunning four towards mid-wicket, adding runs and runs to the total. His aggressive response not only silenced concerns about his fitness but also gave a fresh boost to RCB’s innings. On top of that, some sledging between both players also came into the scene, grabbing a lot of attention.
