In the RCB response, she only needed patience and common sense – and for a short while they seemed to have both the opening couple. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt negotiated the initial threat carefully and in the first three breaks for 30 runs. But in the fourth via, Kyle Jamieson created a moment of magic.
High New Zealand bowed the probe length, which moved only enough to pull Kohli into a preliminary ride. The edge was inevitable and the catch was safely only Wicketkeeper. Kohli went back to 12, again exposed to moving from the seam.
The release caused immediate memories of the World Cup final in 2021, where Jamieson released Kohli in both shifts with similar vans. Quick’s Lanky repeatedly worried about the Indian Maestro in tests and released it three times in the format for the year.
The fans quickly pointed to the similarities, leading to several funny reactions to social media.
Kohli’s vulnerability against the seam and swing was obvious during the recent Indian tour of Australia in 2024–25, where he was caught in a slip seven times in ten shifts. Despite the opening of the series, Kohli managed only 185 runs in five tests, with Scott Boland repeatedly using the same defect.
On Thursday, however, Jamieson’s lone strike proved to be a mere remark under the line. Arshdeep Singh and Azmatullah Omarzai could not maintain pressure, flourish with a new ball and could not earn the spice of the playground.
Phil Salt took the opportunity and launched a brutal attack to raise his fastest iPL half a century in only 23 bells. He was fifty, but he sealed the chase, because the pandjab simply did not put enough on board to participate in the competition.
