Avesh Khan bowled a bouncer to Virat Kohli which dismissed the batter, and then indulged in an aggressive send-off towards the senior player. Avesh was seen clapping his hands hard while looking at Kohli, who was going back to the dugout.
This happened in the 9th over of RCB's batting inning. Avesh bowled a short length delivery on the 3rd bowl which was upper cut by Virat Kohli in an effort to cross the boundary over third man. However, the lack of power resulted in the ball not travelling the distance, and was caught out by Mohsin Khan at third man.
Virat was unable to believe his dismissal for a bit, and was seen standing still on the pitch in disbelief. During this, Avesh Khan seemed enthusiastic with this important wicket in a crucial match and was caught on camera while clapping his hands extra hard at the big wicket. This can be because he was earlier flicked for a beautiful boundary by Virat.
