IPL 2024: "Virat and I thought...": RCB skipper Faf on batter's controversial dismissal after loss to KKR
Apr 21, 2024
Despite explosive half-centuries from Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar and an admirable final flourish from Karn Sharma, RCB fell short of just one run of beating KKR at Eden Gardens and slumped to their seventh loss in the tournament, as they failed to chase down the target of 223 runs. A key moment in the game saw Virat, fall to a controversial on-field call for 18 in seven balls after fending off what appeared to be a beamer straight back to paceman Harshit Rana. Not amused after being given out by the on-field umpires, Virat referred the decision to the third umpire for a no ball. However, after going over the replays, the third umpire upheld the on-field decision, giving him out. Furious at being adjudged out, Virat was seen remonstrating on the field and started walking off in anger as the Knights rejoiced.
