Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is having an off day in the field against Kings XI Punjab. The 31-year-old, very much unlike him, dropped two catches in the game, giving lifelines to KL Rahul on both the occasions, which could prove to be fatal for the Bangalore franchise, as the KXIP captain scored first century of IPL 2020 taking his team to a score of 206/3.

Virat Kohli is one of the best fielders in the world at the moment but had a fairly mundane outing against KXIP at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday. The RCB skipper dropped KL Rahul twice in the game, who went on to score 136 runs in the game, his highest individual score in Indian Premier League.

KL Rahul was first dropped by Virat Kohli in the 17th over of the game off Dale Steyn when the Indian batsmen were on 83 and in the very next over, the KXIP skipper was given a lifeline once again as the RCB captain dropped his catch once again off Navdeep Saini. Following his fielding debacle, Virat Kohli was mercilessly trolled by netizens.
