Virat Kohli's Reaction To Umpire's 'Brain-Fade' During RCB vs RR Clash Goes Viral - Watch
The IPL 2025 encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals on Thursday saw a bizarre incident when the on-field umpire suffered a 'brain-fade' over a LBW decision. In the 10th over of the RR innings, Dhruv Jurel was hit on his pads by a delivery from Krunal Pandya and the umpire gave the decision in RCB's favour. However, the batter opted for a DRS and replays showed that there was inside edge involved. The third umpire quickly overturned the decision but in a hilarious turn of events, the on-field umpire gave Jurel out before quickly reversing his decision. The incident led to a lot of discussion among fans with Virat Kohli's reaction going viral on social media.

Following the win, Virat said, "Pretty happy, we discussed a few things as a batting unit and applied ourselves well enough to get a total on the board. The first challenge here (at this venue) is to win toss and second half it becomes a bit of a advantage, we have been fighting hard to get a good score in the first few games, but the template today was for one guy to bat through and the rest of the
