On Sunday, KKR’s Harshit Rana found an unexpected ally in umpire Vinod Seshan. In-form Virat Kohli, who was in full flow with the bat, was caught unaware by a deceiving high-full toss that did not rise as predicted.

Seshan, who was standing at square leg at the time, signalled to his counterpart Akshay Totre at the non-striker’s end that the ball was aimed below the waist. TV umpire Michael Gough declared Kohli out after replays suggested the trajectory of the ball dipped inches below his waist, much to the chagrin of both Kohli and opening partner Faf du Plessis. The drama did not help Bengaluru in their chase as bottom-placed Bengaluru in the 10-team table slumped to their seventh loss in eight matches.
