MI vs RCB, Indian Premier League 2021: Virat Kohli missed a catch, hurt under the eye. The clock

Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli on Friday missed a catch at mid-off in the 19th over of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Mumbai Indians. A long ball was bowled by Kyle Jamieson and Krunal Pandya hit it straight to Kohli but the RCB captain failed to grab the ball and suffered a blow under his right eye. To relieve RCB fans, Kohli did not go off the field, but changed his position and was seen using an ice pack around the area where they were hit. The visuals also showed injury under Kohli’s right eye as the RCB captain continued fielding.
