Follow UsVirat Kohli has created yet another record in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the match against Delhi Capitals in New Delhi. However, this time, the record happened for him as a fielder and not a batter, as he equalled Ravindra Jadeja’s record of most run outs affected in the IPL.
Kohli helped run out the Delhi batter Vipraj Nigam in the 20th over of the first innings. Tristan Stubbs hit the ball hard down the ground, and after Kohli misfiled his shot at mid off just a bit, he tried to sneak a second run there. However, Nigam was way short of the crease and Kohli recovered well enough to throw the ball straight to the bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the other end who broke off the stumps before Nigam could complete the run.
With this run-out, the run-outs affected by Kohli reached 24, and he equalled Jadeja’s tally in the IPL. After Kohli and Jadeja, Suresh Raina is second on the list with 15 run outs and Manish Pandey is third with 14.
DC ended with a decent score of 162/8 in their 20 overs despite regular fall of wickets. Tristan Stubbs scored a quick-fire 34 off just 18 deliveries to allow the DC spinners a defendable total to bowl at.
