Virat Kohli, captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, held the midfield off-game for the 19th match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) against the Mumbai Indians on Friday. Kyle Jamieson was throwing a long ball and Krunal Pandya hit it straight to Kohli but the RCB captain failed to catch it and was just hit under the right eye. Much to the relief of RCB fans, Kohli did not leave the stadium but changed his position and was seen using an ice pack around his base. The visuals showed injuries under Kohli’s right eye and as the RCB captain continued to enter the field. Virat Kohli Drops A Catch
