The ball on Which Bolt got Shahbaz Ahmed Out Was Short

Trent Boult has taken the most 21 wickets in the first over of any IPL match since IPL 2020. The bowler in second place has only 5 wickets in his account. After dismissing Virat Kohli, Bolt also made Shahbaz Ahmed, who came out to bat at number three, his victim. The ball on which Bolt got Shahbaz Ahmed out was short.

Green jersey is not lucky for Virat Kohli. Last season too, when he came out for RCB wearing a green jersey, he was dismissed on the first ball of the match. Then Jagdish Suchit hunted him.
