‘Kohli Was So….’: Fans React As RCB Waste Review In First Over Of IPL 2025 Clash Against LSG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made a massive blunder in the first over of the final league stage match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 as they aim to beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and finish in the top-two.
Stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma made a decision to review a decision that was too obvious after being convinced by pacer Nuwan Thushara.
RCB waste review in first over against LSG
Thushara’s in-swinging delivery moved quickly into opener Mitchell Marsh’s pads as he tried to play it off his pads. The ball took a clear deflection as it passed the bat and thudded into Marsh’s pads.
Thushara was convinced he had an early wicket and quickly turned to stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma behind the wickets, pleading him to take the review.
Jitesh obliged and went for the review which RCB would go on to regret. Former skipper Virat Kohli was visibly annoyed at the call as Ultra-Edge showed clear edge.
Here are some of the hilarious reactions from fans who were baffled by the review.
Rishabh Pant, at last, scores big runs
LSG have started well as they gave the nod for South African opener Matthew Breetzke to walk out with Marsh. Despite losing Breetzke early in the third over, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant finally found form in the final match of this tournament reaching his fifty in just 29 balls.
Marsh, who is in great form this season, blasted his way to his sixth fifty of IPL 2025 in just 31 balls with a massive six off Suyash Sharma.
It was almost shocking to see Pant bat so freely after struggling against mediocre bowling attacks and getting out in the most predictable fashion all along.
