The replay showed the ball made contact with the bat and pads at roughly the same time and the third umpire went with the on-field umpire’s decision.
Kohli was visibly upset at the decision and after the game, the RCB twitter handle shared the MCC official rule regarding the situation.
According to the tweet, the rule states that a batsman should be adjudged not out in case the ball hits the bat and pads at the same time. It had a picture of Kohli as he was walking out of the ground.

Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav was scored a gritty half century to take Mumbai Indians to a decent total but the knocks by Anuj Rawat and Kohli meant that RCB cruised to the target after losing just three wickets.
