In the Indian Premier League (IPL) match played on Thursday night, Kings XI Punjab, captained by KL Rahul, registered their first win in the tournament by defeating Virat Kohli-led Royal Challenger Bangalore by 97 runs. In this match, Punjab captain KL Rahul played a brilliant unbeaten innings of 132 runs. At the same time, opposition captain Virat Kohli was a complete flop and scored a run and became the victim of fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell. Not only this, the team could not play even the full 20 overs of its quota and was all out for 107 runs in 17 overs. Virat could not forget the pain of the unilateral defeat from Punjab that another bad news has come for him before that.
Virat Kohli has been fined for the match against Punjab. During the sixth match of IPL against Kings XI Punjab, penalty has been imposed for slow over speed. Captain Kohli has been fined Rs 12 lakh for this. Now Kohli will have to pay Rs 12 lakh as penalty. In this match, nothing went well for Virat Kohli. KL Rahul, who smashed a century before his hand, missed two easy catches, after that he could not make a mark even in batting.
Virat Kohli left Rahul's catch off the ball of Navdeep Saini in the 18th over of the Punjab innings. Rahul took full advantage of this opportunity and in 19 overs, RCB team's leading fast bowler Dale Steyn scored 26 runs in the same over with the help of three sixes and two fours. Not only this, Virat's captaincy was questioned when he gave the ball to young Shivam Dubey in the 20th over. In this over, Rahul scored 23 runs and took the team's score to 200.
