Virat Kohli is one of the finest fielders in the Indian team at the moment and barring Jadeja no one else comes close to the heroics of the Indian captain.
However, things change when he dons on that RCB jersey. Not only does his batting drop by a significant notch, but his fielding also gets woeful. This statement was further averred by Kohli when he dropped KL Rahul twice tonight and both of them were absolute sitters.
One of them was dropped in the deep when Rahul went over the mid-wicket and Kohli couldn’t keep the ball in his arms while the next one was dropped in the long-off and it was an even better opportunity. Post this, however, Rahul went nuclear, staying unbeaten for 132 from 69 balls.
Twitter poured in their emotions all over the site as Kohli missed two of the easiest sitters.
The first tweet read, “Kohli catch aise drop kar rahe hain jaise ball nahi GDP ho ?? #RCBvKXIP”

The third tweet was bizarre as it cited, “Kohli intentionally drop the catch. He wanted to teach lessons to the bowlers. So they perform better. It was clearly seen that he was trying to drop catch.
He was also trying to make Rahul stay in form for India. so ek teer mai 2 shikar. Rahul’s form plus team lesson.”
