IPL 2023 - Watch: Virat Kohli's Dismissal Leaves Wife Anushka Sharma Shell-Shocked As Venkatesh Iyer Takes Stunning Catch

For Royal Challengers Bangalore, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was not a happy hunting ground on Wednesday as they tasted loss at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL 2023 match. On a batting paradise, KKR set RCB a 201-run target. The start of RCB's chase was fine with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis finding the gaps easily. Though the latter departed, the former continued his onslaught despite wickets falling in regular intervals at the other end. Kohli reached his fifth half-century of the IPL 2023 off just 33 balls. Despite RCB being four wickets down in 12 overs, Kohli's presence meant that RCB were in with a chance.

However, on the first ball of the 13th over by Andre Russell, the turning point happened.  Against a short ball, Kohli hit a pull shot as Venkatesh Iyer dived to his left to take a stunning catch at deep midwicket.

Talking about the game, Kolkata Knight Riders conjured up spin magic after Jason Roy's sterling fifty to snap their four-match losing streak with a 21-win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. The English opener led the show with a 29-ball 56 as Kolkata Knight Riders batters fired in unison to notch up a fighting 200/5 after RCB captain Virat Kohli opted to bowl at their home den.

But the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy (3/24) and rookie Suyash Sharma (2/30) created a top-order mayhem, before Andre Russell (2/29) broke Kohli's resistance to restrict RCB to 179 for eight.

The win
