IPL 2019: Did Kohli gave an abusive send off to Andre Russell at Edens? — WATCH

It was Kohli’s throw at the non-striker’s end that caught Russell short of his crease. He did not stop and kept running straight to the dugout

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli slammed an IPL century after almost three years that guided his side to victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday night. However, his outstanding efforts would have gone in vain if Kolkata’s most lethal all-rounder, Andre Russell, hadn’t fallen short of the crease in the last over. While chasing a mammoth 214-run target, the KKR needed 24 to win off the last six deliveries. But once Russell was run out for a breathtaking 25-ball 65, Kohli reacted in a furious manner and it looked like as if he gave an abusive send off to Dre-Russ. It was Kohli’s throw at the non-striker’s end that caught Russell short of his crease. He did not stop and kept running straight to the dugout. Here is the video: Needing 113 runs off the last six overs, Russell (65 off 25) and Rana (85 not out off 46) almost got their team over the line but Moeen Ali managed to defend 24 in the final over. The tense climax came after Virat Kohli smashed 100 off 58 balls for his fifth century in the IPL and first this season. RCB hammered 91 runs off the last five overs to reach 213 for four, their highest total this year. Ali's 66 off 28 while batting alongside Kohli also proved crucial for RCB's cause as they finally managed to defend.
