Watch: Virat Kohli's Dismal Form Continues As He Falls For Cheap vs Rajasthan Royals In IPL 2022
IPL 2022: RCB batter Virat Kohli's lean patch with the bat continued as he was dismissed for 9 runs off 10 balls vs Rajasthan Royals while opening the batting.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Prasidh Krishna had the last laugh when he removed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) opener Virat Kohli with a short delivery on the fourth ball of his first over in IPL 2022Â on Tuesday. Kohli, who has endured a lean patch with the bat off late, tried to pull a short ball by Krishna but, in turn, got a toe-end of the bat and lobbed it towards a diving Riyan Parag at point to end his struggles in the middle. Kohli had replaced Anuj Rawat at the top of the order but failed to influence the game. During his short stay at the crease, left-arm pacer Trent Boult also seemed to trouble him with deliveries that came into the batter.
However, after getting a couple edges and a chance which fell just short of the fielder in the first over, Kohli's luck ran out sooner than expected.
