Dube's Redemption: Kohli Dropped, Then Caught!
5 Apr
Summary
- Shivam Dube dropped Virat Kohli on 7 before taking a crucial catch.
- Virat Kohli scored 28 off 18 balls before being dismissed.
- CSK chose to bowl first after losing their first two matches.
In a dramatic turn of events during the IPL 2026 clash, Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube went from dropping Virat Kohli on 7 to taking his crucial catch shortly after. The incident occurred in the fourth over when Kohli, struggling to time the ball on a slow M. Chinnaswamy Stadium surface, holed out to deep mid-on. This dismissal for 28 off 18 balls came just as Kohli was settling in, providing a much-needed breakthrough for CSK.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai Super Kings, seeking their first points after losses to Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, won the toss and opted to bowl. The early passage of play was slow, with few boundaries. However, Kohli's dropped chance proved costly, allowing him to find his aggressive touch, hitting boundaries off Matt Henry. The tide turned again with Dube's redemption, handing RCB a setback and offering CSK a glimmer of hope.
