(MENAFN- Live Mint) Virat Kohli's sharp reflexes was on full display as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) superstar pulled off a stunner to stun Delhi Capitals batter KL Rahul at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

The incident took place on the first ball of the 11th over, bowled by Krunal Pandya. At a time when Rahul looked to take his team home, the right-hander dances down the track against left-armer Pandya to loft a tossed up delivery. Sadly the ball hit the bottom of his bat and didn't get the elevation.

Besides the niggle, Kohli too was unwell, thus forcing the RCB management to be cautious while using their former skipper. In fact, despite being not 100% fit, Kohli scored a match-winning knock of 49 against LSG. Against Delhi Capitals, Kohli was dismissed for 19 off 13 deliveries.
