In the first Qualifier between the Gujarat Lions and Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB skipper Virat Kohli took a blinder of a catch to dismiss Gujarat batsman Eklavya Dwivedi.

But the catch didn’t make the headlines for the right reasons.

Virat took a superb catch and threw the ball instantaneously to show his joy. He also ran off the field which led the umpires to think that the catch was not properly taken. A bemused Virat asked the umpires what happened and the officials decided to refer it to the third umpire.

The replays showed that the catch was legitimate and extinguished any sort of doubt. But surely, it led to a bit of confusion as well as controversy.
