Virat Kohli, one of the most trusted fielders in the game, faced a rare moment of embarrassment during the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 13. Known for his sharp reflexes and intensity on the field, Kohli stunned everyone by dropping a simple catch at a crucial moment in the game.

Virat Kohli Misses A Sitter At Long-Off

The incident happened on the last ball of the 17th over of Rajasthan’s innings. Suyash Sharma tossed up a delivery full and outside off-stump to Dhruv Jurel, who went for a big shot across the line. The ball went high in the air and straight towards long-off, where Kohli was positioned.

It looked like a routine catch for someone of Kohli’s calibre. However, as he moved forward to take it, he appeared a bit too casual and ended up dropping the dolly. The missed catch not only surprised fans but also left RCB players visibly disappointed on the field.

Social Media Flooded With Trolls

The moment Kohli dropped the catch, fans wasted no time and flooded social media with reactions. Many were disappointed with the mistake, especially given Kohli’s usually reliable fielding. Some users even cracked jokes about the moment.

One fan wrote, “Looks like Virat Kohli is playing for RR.” Another user shared a meme that said, “Jersey hi Pakistan jaisi nahi hai, fielding bhi hai.” The sarcasm and humour spread quickly, and Kohli’s drop soon became one of the most talked-about moments of the match.

Jurel Makes The Most Of The Chance

After being dropped, Dhruv Jurel didn’t hold back. He punished the RCB bowlers by hitting fours and sixes, turning what should’ve been a dismissal into a momentum shift for Rajasthan Royals.

While Kohli’s dropped catch may have been just one moment in a long game, it turned into a talking point both on and off the field. For a player who sets high standards in everything he does, this unexpected error became a reminder that even the best have their off days.
