Harshit Rana to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! That is the repeat of Andre Russell's first ball in this match and the decision goes against Bengaluru again. Kohli is not at all happy and is making his feelings known to the umpire. Harshit Rana loses his grip and bowls a loopy delivery, on middle, Virat Kohli gets surprised by it and just hangs his bat around, the ball loops off the leading edge and Rana takes a dolly. Now, it remains to be seen whether that was above the waist height or not. The umpires send it upstairs and the replay shows that when Kohli made contact he was outside of the crease and the ball was dipping as well. Kolkata gets a massive wicket here!
