Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai left the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans heartbroken as he grabbed a stunning catch on his follow-through to dismiss star batter Virat Kohli in the IPL 2025 Final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday (June 3).
Virat perished in the 15th over after scoring 43 off 35 balls with three boundaries. Omarzai bowled a short delivery and Kohli went for a pull but got a big top edge.
The bowler ran into the non-striker as he was attempting the catch because there was no one at mid-wicket. There was enough air time on the ball, allowing Azmatullah to recover, gather speed, stretch full length and complete the grab with both hands.
It was a big wicket for PBKS as Kohli was looking to bat through in the all-important title clash.

Coming to the match, RCB posted 190/9 in their allotted 20 overs. While Kohli was the top scorer in the innings, the likes of Rajat Patidar (26 off 16), Liam Livingstone (25 off 15) and Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10) also made valuable contributions with the bat.
Arshdeep Singh (3-40 in 4 overs) and Kyle Jamieson (3-48 in 4 overs) returned with three wickets each for Punjab Kings.
