During a recent match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, Virat Kohli was seen strategically plotting Faf du Plessis’ dismissal. Having previously played alongside Faf at RCB, Kohli shared insider tips with his bowlers on how to target the South African batsman. Kohli was captured on camera signaling to the bowler that Faf is unlikely to play the sweep shot, and moments later, he himself took a catch at long-on to dismiss Faf.
Faf, who had returned to the DC XI after missing a few matches due to illness, struggled at the crease and was eventually dismissed for just 22 runs. Despite a slow start, DC gained momentum towards the end of their innings, thanks to Tristan Stubbs’ quickfire 34. KL Rahul top-scored for DC with 41 runs, but faced 39 deliveries to reach his total.
The match saw a tight battle between the two teams, with RCB’s bowlers managing to restrict DC’s run flow during the middle overs. However, DC managed to cross the 160-run mark towards the end of their innings. Overall, it was a strategic and competitive match between the two sides, with Kohli’s clever tactics playing a key role in Faf’s dismissal.
