Virat Kohli is one of the greatest batters to ever play the game, there is no doubting that. However, his greatness gets even amplified when it comes to chasing as there are very few who can match Virat Kohli in a run-chase.

In the game 36th of IPL 2023 between RCB and KKR, he was again in his elements and looked like a man on mission to take his side to a mammoth 201-run target set by KKR. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell departed early but Virat Kohli got to his fifty and looked well set to take the game deep.

However, a moment of brilliance from Venkatesh Iyer on the first delivery of the 13th over ended Virat Kohli's knock stunning the jam-packed M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The bowler was Andre Russell and he bowled a short one on off. Kohli pulled it and seemed to have found the gap towards deep mid-wicket but Venkatesh Iyer in deep had other ideas. He ran to his left, covered lot of ground and then took a brilliant diving low catch to deliver a game-changing moment for his side.

These are the kind of moments that can be the defining moments in a highly intense evenly matched contest and now RCB have a mountain to climb to win this one. At the time of writing, RCB need 56 off 24 balls with four wickets in hand.
