In Pics: Virat Kohli's RCB pull off Houdini act, SRH also 'choke' at the death

A day after Kolkata Knight Riders faltered badly in their chase against Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to 'choke' at the death against Virat Kohli's Royal Challenegers Bangalore to lose their IPL 2021 clash by six runs in Chennai on Wednesday (April 14). Chasing 150 to win, David Warner's SRH were well on their way to a win with the skipper leading with a half-century. But three wickets in an over by RCB all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed and Harshal Patel's fine bowling in the death overs helped Kohli pull of a Houdini Act at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Here are pictures from another closely-fought encounter.
