Watch: Hit-Wicket Controversy In IPL 2025 Opener? Virat Kohli In Shock As KKR Star Knocks Over Bails
NDTV
KKR star Sunil Narine could've been involved in a hit-wicket dismissal in the IPL 2025 opening game vs RCB.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cruised to victory over reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the opening game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. KKR managed a total of just 174, which was chased down by RCB with ease, in just 16.2 overs. A big contribution to KKR's total was made by West Indies star Sunil Narine, who slammed 44 off 26 balls. However, there was a contentious hit-wicket call against Narine, which was not given by the umpire.

During his knock, RCB were suddenly left intrigued when the bails abruptly fell. It appeared to be Virat Kohli who brought attention to the fact, and replays showed that Narine might have knocked them over with his bat.
"How did the bails fall off," Kohli can be seen asking RCB wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma.
"I don't know, I wasn't paying attention. My eyes were on the ball," Jitesh replied.
There also appeared to be a half-hearted appeal from RCB's new skipper Rajat Patidar, but nothing materialised out of it.
