Rahul Tripathi plucked the finest catch and brought some early joy in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp during their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai on Sunday afternoon.
This catch also brought an end to Virat Kohli’s stay in the middle, after the RCB skipper decided to bat first after winning the toss. Kohli was dismissed on 5 off 6 balls and RCB kicked-off their innings on a dreadful note after losing two wickets inside two overs.

Kohli got off the mark with a streaky boundary. After veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh bowled a no-ball, Kohli came down the wicket, looking to attack him, and edged the ball which beat Dinesh Karthik and went for four. The next over, bowled by Varun Chakravarthy is where Kohli perished. Chakravarthy bowled it outside off and Kohli, looking to attack, top edged the ball into the sky. Tripathi, took off from his position at point, ran back, kept his eyes on the ball, covered a huge amount of ground in lightning quick time and held on to a sensational catch running backwards.
