The IPL 2025 meeting between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Rajasthan Royals knew a bizarre incident on Thursday when the referee on the ground underwent a “absence of a brain” on an LBW decision. During the 10th above the RR rounds, Dhruv Jurel was struck on his pads by delivery of Krunal Pandya and the arbitrator gave the decision in favor of the RCB. However, the striker opted for a DRS and the reruns showed that the inner edge was involved. The third referee quickly reversed the decision, but in a hilarious turn of events, the referee on the ground gave Jurel before quickly reversing his decision. The incident led to many discussions among fans with the reaction of Virat Kohli which becomes viral on social networks.
Kohli was ecstatic after his team succeeded in breaking a sequence of losses of three games at the place of origin of Minnaswamy Stadium with a victory over the Royals Rajasthan (RR), expressing a relief to the model of striker of his team to have a battery bat for a long time and not to compel the attacks finally paid.

The sequence of losses of three RCB games in Bengaluru finally broke, with the blow of 70 points of Virat with the battle with the half-century of Devdutt Padikkal, the RCB of RCB at 205/5, which the red side and the gold courageously defended against a RR combat unit, largely due to the efforts of Josh Hazlewood (4/33) Dayal (1/33) in the two finals.
After the victory, Virat said: “Enough happy, we discussed a few things as a strikers and we were applied enough to get a total on the board. The first challenge here (at this place) is to win the launch and the second half, it becomes a little more, we fought hard to get a good score in the first games, but the model today was for one guy and the rest of the strikers.”

“There is rhythm and rebound in the first 3-4 Overs, and I think that we have tried to force too much shots in the last 3 games, and today we have let the ball come to adjust us, and we could capitalize on them. We have found a way to beat now, and in the next home games, we should be in a better position to get these additional lessons from 15 to 20,” he added.
Virat also credited the Rajasthan strikers for having implemented a valiant performance while hitting and called the two points won of victory as “crucial”.
Appreciating the love and support of the “ Sea of Red ”, the RCB fans base always supported at home, Virat said: “This place is the best place to play the IPL cricket, and fans have supported us during good and bad moments. It is a special place and has a lot of special memories.”
