In the opening over bowled by Trent Boult, Kohli whipped the ball off his pads for a six over deep-square leg and it looked like the batter was in the zone.

However, in the very next over, the 33-year-old was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna after scoring just 7 runs.

The dismissal was a worrying sign as it saw the RCB batter chasing a short and wide delivery, to hand a simple catch to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.

Former India players Virender Sehwag and Parthiv Patel discussed in detail about the dismissal and Kohli's performance on a whole this season.

Sehwag went on to say that Kohli has probably committed more mistakes in this season of IPL as compared to his entire career.
