Virat Kohli scored yet another half-century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024, but his team ended on the losing side against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday. RCB now have two losses in three games and the start to the IPL 2024 has been timid to say the least. RCB are one of the four sides which are yet to win the IPL. Every year, RCB fans hope for a different story to happen. But what occurs, is the complete opposite.
Despite being one of the most star-studded sides, RCB have under-achieved. On Friday, Kohli top-scored with an unbeaten 83 of 59 deliveries. None of the other RCB batters could even touch 35. RCB scored 182/6 in 20 overs but KKR reached the target in just 16.5 overs.
Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaksar blasted the RCB batters after the loss.
“You tell me how much Kohli will do alone – someone should accompany him, If someone had supported him today, he would definitely have scored 120 instead of 83, so this is team sport not a single man game, he didn’t get any support today,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium once again witnessed Kohli’s remarkable art with the bat as he cruised to 83* in mere 59 deliveries which was glistened with four boundaries and four sixes.
