#3 Rahman bamboozles Kohli

Mujeeb Ur Rahman IPL Cricket Afghanistan KXIP
Rahman bowled an absolute beauty to get rid of Kohli

Afghanistan's 17-year-old spinner Rahman created quite an impact on his IPL debut against Delhi Daredevils picking up two wickets.

And the teenager hogged the headlines yet again on Friday with his dismissal of Kohli with an absolute beauty that is arguably the ball of the tournament so far.

The RCB skipper was looking in good touch, scoring 21 runs with four boundaries to his name when the young Afghan spinner worked out the chase-master with his intelligent bowling.

With Kohli itching to get a move on after a couple of dot balls, Rahman enticed Kohli forward with a flighted googly that pitched and spun a mile to castle his stumps.

There was very little Kohli could have done about it and the way the young rookie spinner got the better of such a highly skilled and experienced player as the Indian captain was a sight to savour for any cricket fan, irrespective of his national and franchise allegiance.
