Watch: Anushka Sharma Stunned As RCB Star Virat Kohli Departs In 1st Over vs CSK In IPL 2023 Game

It was a run fest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday as Royal Challengers Bangalore faced MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. Batting first, CSK were guided to 226/6 with Devon Conway and Shivam Dube slamming quick half-centuries. In reply, RCB's Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell too hit half-centuries but still RCB fell short by just eight runs. One batter who was expected to do well on the batting track was Virat Kohli. However, the ex-RCB skipper fell for just 6 off Akash Singh in first over of the chase. Kohli swung hard against a back of a length delivery and played the ball on to the stumps. The dismissal stunned the Bengaluru crowd, including Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma, who was present in the stands.

"It Might Be My Last Month...": Virat Kohli On Thought Process During "Transitional Period" Before Asia Cup

Virat Kohli is well and truly back. Since the 2022 Asia Cup, when the former India captain ended his lengthy century drought, Kohli has been scoring big runs. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 so far, Kohli has scored three half-centuries in four games. His starts have proved crucial for RCB too, who are one of the teams yet to win the IPL. "It became difficult in between. Things got very hectic. But then you had to step away in times, where everyone was going for more and more. I was like if I just keep being part of the rat race, I am going into a space which is very, very unhealthy. Me taking break was the most important decision at that point of time. It brought back the freshness," said Kohli in an interview with former India cricketer Robin Uthappa on Jio Cinema.
