Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Virat Kohli was seen advising Suyash Sharma, who was in the middle of a torrid over during the IPL 2025 game against the SunRisers Hyderabad at the Ekana International Stadium in Lucknow on Friday. With the leggie conceding 3 boundaries in the first four deliveries, Kohli's advice immediately followed up with Heinrich Klaasen's wicket.
The dismissal occurred in the ninth over of the innings as Ishan Kishan clattered boundaries off the first two deliveries, while Klaasen had glanced it one fine for yet another boundary. The South African batter had already hit two sixes and wanted to hit another but mistimed it, thereby holing out to long-on as Romario Shepherd took a simple catch.
