What happened during Kohli’s heartbeat moment?
Chasing 174, Kohli was in his zone and made a gritty fifty. After hammering a six to reach 54 off 39 balls in the 15th over, he hustled a quick double with Devdutt Padikkal.
But then, something felt off. The 36-year-old clutched his chest and signaled to Samson, RR’s keeper-captain, to check his pulse. Samson placed a hand on Kohli’s chest and gave a nod like all was good and play resumed after a quick breather.
