Often players keep sledding each other on the cricket field. In today's era of the game where there's so much pressure on players to perform, without sledging, the gentlemen's game seems incomplete. A sledging incident was seen in the IPL 2020 eliminator between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. RCB captain Virat Kohli was seen trying to distract Hyderabad batsman Manish Pandey in this crucial match.

However, Manish Pandey gave a stern reply to Virat Kohli, not verbally but with his bat. Pandey's reply was so strong that after that Virat Kohli was seen fielding quietly.

When RCB captain Virat Kohli sledged SRH's Manish Pandey

After the Bangalore innings, when Hyderabad started chasing the target, they lost their wicket in the very first over. Srivats Goswami returned to the pavilion off Mohammad Siraj's lethal delivery for a duck. After this, Manish Pandey came to the crease. After the first wicket fell early, Manish Pandey was seen playing a little carefully. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli came to him and teased him for a slow start.

Manish Pandey ignored Virat Kohli's taunt. On the second ball of Mohammed Siraj's over, Virat Kohli had teased Pandey for a slow start and on the fourth ball of the same over, Manish Pandey hit a big six over midwicket. This six by Pandey surprised Kohli.


In the match, Manish Pandey scored 24 against Bangalore. Pandey was out early but his team knocked Bangalore out of the IPL. Bangalore scored 131 runs in 20 overs in the match and Hyderabad achieved the target by losing 4 wickets with 2 balls remaining.
