Watch: Virat Kohli hailed for stupendous ‘spirit of cricket’ gesture in Qualifier 2

Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets in the Qualifier 2. Virat Kohli was dismissed early in the innings. However, Virat Kohli was applauded by fans for his amazing ‘spirit of cricket’ gesture during the first over of the match. Kohli had played a flick towards and ran for a quick single. Jos Butler who was positioned at the square leg quickly dived in and tried to have a direct throw at Kohli’s end. However, the ball deflected off Kohli’s leg rather than hitting the stumps. After the deflection, the ball went away having another RR fielder chase the ball. However, Kohli’s gesture proved why cricket is referred to as the gentleman’s game. Fans were once again impressed with King Kohli’s choice to not take a run there. Later, Kohli was dismissed at 7 runs as skipper Sanju Samson caught him behind.

As RR had to chase 158 down. The in-form batter Jos had single-handedly helped RR to the finals. Buttler went on to hit his 4th century for the season equaling Virat’s record of highest centuries in a single IPL edition. In addition, Jos has the most runs in IPL 2022. Gujarat Titans have been the first team to reach the finals. RR will be competing with GT in the finals at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 29th May. The telecast of the final will begin at 8 PM IST. Moreover, BCCI has organized a closing ceremony. Ranveer Singh and AR Rahman will perform for the ceremony.
