Noor Ahmad to Kohli, out Caught by Ravindra!! Finally they hold onto one. Kohli goes trying to play the big shot. The partnership has been broken and it is Noor who does the job once again for the Super Kings. Tossed up on off and middle, Kohli kneels down and slog sweeps towards deep mid-wicket, he struck it flat and picked out Rachin right on the rope. A scratchy innings comes to an end.

Pathirana to Kohli, no run, ouch! That is rare. You don't see Kohli being hit on the helmet often. Pathirana has managed to do that.
