Cricket news goes viral after Shreyas Iyer Falls for 1 in Virat Kohli’s ‘iconic jump’ in Apple finals
New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli jumped into the festival and hugged Romario Shepherd after Pesar rejected Punjab Kings (PBK) skipper Shreyas Iyer for only 1. Iyer was caught by Jitesh Sharma out of one-one-length delivery from outside. Although the umpire did not raise his finger, Iyer immediately left, accepting the unconscious outside the shore. Jitesh was ready to review, but PBKS captain’s honesty spared the referral.Earlier, RCB on Tuesday made its way for 190 for 90 in the final of IPL 2025 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. On a batting -friendly surface, the fourth -time finalists once again stumbled on the big platform, unable to apply significant scoreboard pressure.While Kohli is a long anchor innings with the composition calculated, his perspective backfires this time. He scored 43 runs in 35 balls, attacked only three fours-at a strike rate of two ninth over-at a strike rate of 122.85, the high-day seems to be very conservative in the final.
RCB was relatively sharp in Powerplay, reached 55/1, but after that his speed stopped. Between 6 and 11 overs, he scored only 42 runs, instead of insisting for large overs, the batsmen were largely rotated.Phil Salat gave RCB a fierce start, with one six and one four in the first over. However, in the next, he blurred a shot from Kyle Jaimison, offering a skier, which was safely digested by Sris Iyer safely after covering more than 10 pace in mid-on.Salt dismissal proved to be a significant turn, as RCB lost speed. Mayank Agarwal (24), Rajat Patidar (26), and Liam Livingstone (25) all started, but could not convert them into impressive scores.Jaimisson (3/48) was an assistant, cleverly shaking its length. After removing salt, he returned to trap the Patidar LBW with a brilliant slow yorker in the 11th over. His figures beat up a little in the 17th over, when Jitesh Sharma (24 runs off 10 balls) and Livingstone launched a counter-atac, scoring 23 runs with three sixes between them. But Jaimison said last, stuck with a full toss before the Livingstone leg.Arshdeep Singh, whose expensive start – accepted 37 in his first three overs – produced a great final. He dismissed Krunal Pandya (4), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1), and Romario Shepherd (9 runs 9), who threatened to lift RCB four to 200 in an innings and four late in an innings.
