The fast-bowler could have easily toppled over the boundary rope, but thanks to his athleticism, he held onto it to stun the crowd present at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It was not a best of the delivery from Harshal Patel as he bowled a full toss on Kohli’s legs. The right-hander chipped it believing he can clear the fielder. However, Boult came in-between and stunned Kohli. TV replays showed even Kohli was shocked by Boult’s super effort. RCB vs DD- As it Happened
Meanwhile, the 'flying Kiwi' was all over the Twitter and Twitterati couldn’t stop praising Boult for his catch.
It was an important catch at that stage of the game as Kohli was batting on 30. But, unfortunately for Delhi, it was AB de Villiers who then batted the visitors out of the contest. De Villiers smashed an impressive half-century after adding 63 off just 41 balls for the third wicket with Kohli. The right-hander finished unbeaten on 90 off just 39 balls as RCB chased down the target in 18 overs.
