RCB batter Kohli was dismissed by KKR pacer Harshit Rana on a delivery going above his waist height.

The RCB star decided to review the matter but even that went in the favour of the bowling team.

Upon assessment, the third umpire deemed the delivery from Rana a fair delivery as Kohli was standing outside his crease.

Even the impact between the ball and the bat was quite ahead of the body.

Kohli's waist was measured at 1.04 meters by the technology in upright position.

But, technological assessment showed that had Kohli stayed inside the crease, the ball would've reached him at a height of 0.92 meters.

According to ICC, "Any delivery, which passes, without pitching, above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease, is to be deemed to be unfair."
