Kohli scored 18 runs in 7 balls with the help of 1 four and 2 sixes and started the journey towards the target in an aggressive manner. But anyone who has watched his innings in the IPL so far knows that he tends to stick to the middle overs anyway, so his absence is a blessing. It has been proven time and again that Kohli's short cameos are beneficial for the team, but staying till the end and scoring 100 runs in 71 balls does not help the team win.

Kohli was out yesterday after being caught on a high full toss off Harshit Rana. The problem with the goalkeeper is that when I hit the bat it was above the hip. But on a 22-yard pitch, when a batsman comes to the 10th yard and is going to hit the ball, it's time to see if the ball goes down. There is no argument that the ball was above waist level where it was found. Kohli got the ball outside the crease. If he had hit the ball inside the crease, the ball would have been below his waist and it is not a proper attitude for a professional cricketer to blame the umpires for not getting the ball in the right place.

The new HawkEye technology proved to be highly accurate. HawkEye said that if the Greek goalkeeper had bowled a straight ball, the ball would have passed only 0.92 meters above the ground. Kohli's waist length is 1.04 meters. So the ball hit below the hip. So it is a set ball.

This means that the height of the ball can only be calculated from the bouncing crease, with the goalkeeper meeting the ball from outside the crease, so staring at the umpire is useless. Captain Duplessis, who had initially appealed to the umpire along with Kohli, eventually relented and said, “Rules are rules. Virat and I felt that the ball had gone above the waist on the field. “I think they're counting on getting the fat removed,” he admitted.
