KL Rahul dominated the proceedings today against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) like no other. Apart from marshaling his troops, the talismanic batsman showed how destructive he can be with his willow too, with skyrocketing shots all over the ground in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match here at Dubai international stadium.
His efforts saw Kings XI Punjab score 206-3, a mountain to climb for the RCB line-up led by batting troika of Virat Kohli, AB de Villers, and AaronFinch.
Kohli drops Rahul twice in two overs
However, the score could have been halted if Rahul‘s catch was taken by RCB skipper Virat Kohli.
Rahul had not completed his century and there were still about a couple of overs remaining when he flicked a shot on to the leg side boundary. The ball went high up in the sky. Virat was in a perfect position to pouch it but couldn’t get hold of it. His expression also suggested that the ball got lost in the night sky.

Kohli, who sets high standards for himself and his team, rarely miss catches. And the misses today against Punjab must have come as a surprise for everyone.
