It ain't over till it's over. Truly! The game between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore witnessed Rishabh Pant's side losing the match by 1 run at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer, who were on the field were quite exceptional with the bat. Needless to say that the two were dejected that they could not pull off a win. Just after completing the match, Virat Kohli walked up to Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer who fought hard and remained unbeaten on the score of 58 and 53 run respectively. The RCB captain was seen consoling both the players who fought their hearts out. IPL 2021 Points Table Updated: RCB Beat DC to Go Back at Top.
Talking about the match, AB de Villers heroics helped RCB post a total of 171 runs on the scoreboard as the South African hammered an unbeaten knock of 75 runs. Rajat Patidar contributed with 31 from 22 and Glenn Maxwell made 25 from 20 balls. However, Delhi Capitals' batsmen failed to leave an impact and then Rishabh Pant and Hetmyer took the matter into their hands. Sadly that wasn't enough for DC to be on the winning side.
Now, let's have a look at the video where Virat is seen consoling the two players:
