In the end, RCB fell short by nine runs as per the DLS calculation.<\/p>\n<h2>Prince Yadav\u2019s strike removes Virat Kohli<\/h2>\n<p>One of the decisive moments came when Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck. Lucknow pacer Prince Yadav produced a 140.4 kmph inswinging delivery that moved through Kohli\u2019s defensive line and struck the off stump.<\/p>\n<p>After the ball hit the stumps, Kohli appeared visibly surprised, then stared toward the pitch area where the delivery had landed.<\/p>\n<h2>Manjrekar breaks down Kohli\u2019s body language<\/h2>\n<p>Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar later analysed Kohli\u2019s reaction and drew a comparison with Sachin Tendulkar, suggesting the behaviour reflects how elite batters process setbacks in real time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manjrekar said Kohli\u2019s dismissal\u2014being clean bowled by Prince Yadav\u2014offered insight into the mindset of a champion batter.<\/li>\n<li>He noted that, in his view, the focus wasn\u2019t merely on how Kohli got out, but on what Kohli did immediately after: looking down at the pitch as though something unexpected had occurred.<\/li>\n<li>Manjrekar compared this to Tendulkar\u2019s end-of-career reaction, saying Tendulkar would also look at the pitch and believe the ball had \u201ckept low,\u201d as though the conditions had played a trick.<\/li>\n<li>He added that when a batter experiences a small setback, they may not instantly turn inward for answers or become self-critical; instead, they look for causes outside themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why top batters react differently<\/h2>\n<p>Manjrekar further argued that this sort of response is typical among top-order players, tying it to the strong belief they maintain in their own skills.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He said this trait belongs to \u201ca great batter,\u201d stemming from years of success that keep self-confidence high.<\/li>\n<li>According to Manjrekar, when such a player gets a moment like this, their confidence does not drop quickly.<\/li>\n<li>He contrasted that with \u201clesser mortals,\u201d who, in his view, see their confidence shatter when something goes wrong.<\/li>\n<li>He concluded that great batters instinctively search for another reason for their dismissal because their faith in their ability remains strong\u2014one of the reasons they consistently deliver at the highest level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered a nine-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Ekana
