IPL 2020: Virat Kohli Almost Applies Saliva on Ball; Sachin Tendulkar Calls it ‘Million Dollar Reaction’

Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli stopped short of committing a blunder when he almost applied saliva on the ball out of sheer force of habit, in the match against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020. The incident happened when Prithvi Shaw of DC attempted a drive to penetrate the covers off the bowling of Navdeep Saini in the third over of the innings. Kohli displayed a quick reflex to stop the ball, but he almost failed to control his next action. He rubbed the ball and was about to apply saliva on it when he realised it was prohibited by the International Cricket Council (ICC) under its special Covid-19 protocols.
