IPL 2021: WATCH- Rahul Tripathi’s catch of the season candidate to dismiss Virat Kohli for 5 runs

Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bat first.

The 10^th match of the IPL 2021 is seeing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the first of the double-headers on April 18, 2021. Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat first in Chennai.

However, RCB’s luck ran out almost immediately as after getting an inside edge for a four off Harbhajan Singh, Virat Kohli decided to take on Varun Chakravarthy in his first over of the match. But the Tamil Nadu spinner was wiser and Kohli trying to hit over the mid-off, gets an outside edge of the bat and the ball went in the air towards the cover region.

Rahul Tripathi sprinted from extra cover and ran backward, keeping his eyes on the ball, and had to dive to catch the ball as it dropped in front of his right shoulder. It was totally a fielder’s wicket and Tripathi will be a contender for the catch of the match award.
