New Delhi: The Mumbai Indians (MI) encountered a disappointing fourth defeat in a row on Saturday, in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Though, its under-19 newbie Dewald Brevis, also known as Baby AB has stolen all the attention with his maiden wicket, tricking skipper Virat Kohli, dismissing his first-ever fifty in the current season of the tournament.
Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Kohli was all set to deliver his first half-century for the season at 48 runs when Brevis took to attack surprising the latter with a length ball hitting his pad. To a massive appeal from the Mumbai Indians, the umpire Virender Sharma declared it to be a straight-away out.
However, Kohli believed it to be otherwise and signaled for a second review. The UltraEdge showed there was no contact between bat and ball while ball-tracking showed 3 reds. After missing to score his first half-century in the tournament, the anguished batter smashed his bat on the ground on his way to the pavillion.

Kohli’s LBW barely affected RCB’s run-chase in the game. Glenn Maxwell brought the final win for the team with two boundaries in the climax. With the latest victory, the Royal Challengers dethroned Lucknow Super Giants on the points table, overtaking the second spot.
Meanwhile, with an unexpectedly disappointing performance from Mumbai Indians, the team stands last on the point table, with back-to-back losses in each passing match.
