Virat Kohli has left his fans filled with concern following the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), as he walked towards Sanju Samson and asked him to check his heartbeat.
The incident happened during the 15th over of RCB’s chase where Kohli was batting at 54 runs. He completed a quick double from Wanindu Hasaranga. After Kohli completed the run, his facial expressions showed that he was clearly struggling. He walked towards Sanju Samson, and asked to check his heartbeat.
Sanju Samson made a quick check on Kohli’s heartbeat and gestured the former RCB captain what seemed to be asking him to not worry about it. Later during the timeout, Virat was seen relaxing after he was evidently exhausted. Since he is known for his fitness level, this incident has left his fans worried about his health.
For those who are not familiar with the situation, the match was an afternoon match that had started 3:30 PM IST in Jaipur, which is one of the hottest cities in India during summer. Virat Kohli was on the field for almost the entirety of the game.
As RCB had won the toss and decided to bowl first, Kohli fielded on the ground for the entire 20 overs without any physical toll of the heat. On top of that, he had also faced the heat for the entirety of batting as he came to open the innings, and stayed unbeaten till the team won the match.
