The IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 13, 2025, is filled with thrilling moments, but one incident that caught everyone’s attention was Virat Kohli dropping an easy catch of Dhruv Jurel off Suyash Sharma’s bowling in the 17th over.
Kohli, known for his exceptional fielding skills, was fielding at long-off when Jurel edged a shot that seemed like an easy catch. However, Kohli couldn’t hold onto the ball, and the chance went begging. This slip-up could potentially change the course of the match, as Jurel went on to play a crucial role in Rajasthan Royals’ innings.
Virat Kohli’s usually sharp fielding skills seemed to desert him on this occasion, leaving fans and teammates alike wondering what could have been.
IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are engaging in a thrilling battle
The stage is set for an electrifying encounter between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 13, 2025. Both teams are eager to make their mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, and this match promises to be an exciting clash of skills.
RR is looking to bounce back after a 58-run defeat to Gujarat Titans in their last match. Sanju Samson, RR’s top scorer in IPL 2025 with 178 runs, will lead the charge. Other key players to watch out for are Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. The Royals’ bowling attack, led by Jofra Archer and Wanindu Hasaranga, will aim to restrict RCB’s scoring.
RCB, on the other hand, has won three out of five matches this season. Virat Kohli has been in excellent form, scoring 186 runs with two half-centuries. Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone will also be crucial to RCB’s success. The team’s bowling attack, featuring Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, will look to contain RR’s batters.
