WATCH: Ashwin’s EXPLOSIVE reaction after getting mocked by Kohli

The RCB skipper gave an animated reaction after taking Ashwin’s catch near the boundary rope. Furiously angry with the dismissal, Ashwin was seen throwing his gloves at his dugout in anger

Navdeep Saini's fabulous penultimate over kept Royal Challengers Bangalore afloat as they beat Kings XI Punjab by 17 runs in an IPL match on Wednesday. Kings XI Punjab finished at 185 for 7 as RCB are now on eight points with three games left. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s angry send-off to KXIP skipper Ashwin turned out to be the major highlight of the RCB vs KXIP match. Ashwin came to the crease when KXIP, chasing 203 to win, needed 27 run off the final over. Ashwin looked in the mood to finish the game as early as possible after he smashed Umesh Yadav to a six of his very first delivery. Hoping for the same result, Ashwin mistimed Yadav's second delivery and the ball went straight to Kohli, standing at long-on near the boundary rope. The RCB skipper gave an animated reaction after taking Ashwin’s catch near the boundary rope. Furiously angry with the dismissal, Ashwin was seen throwing his gloves at his dugout in anger. Here’s the Video of that incident…

After the incident, Ashwin played down the animated reaction from Virat Kohli, saying both of them react out of passion. "I just played with passion, so does he (Virat). That's it. As simple as that," Ashwin said at the post-match press conference.
