After conceding a frustrating loss against Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli reveals why his team failed in the on- going edition of Indian Premier League(IPL). In the post-match presentation ceremony, Kohli pointed that he has not seen so many batting collapses in a single season and this batting chaos is the main reason for such failure.
“We let ourselves down with the bat once again. I have not seen so many collapses for a team in one season. You don’t really understand what to do in times like these,”. Our preparations have been similar to what we did last year, but what matters is what you do on the field and this season has been against what we’ve wanted,” Kohli said
“It’s really disheartening. I don’t know what to say in games like these anymore. It’s happening many a time now for our liking. Anything we are trying with the bat is not working.The whole squad is trying to be positive but we are not finding a way to make a big score. Wickets are falling too quickly, I can’t pinpoint anything, we are trying to be as positive as we can,” he added.
Despite having the most powerful batting lineup that includes Kohli, Gayle, De Villiers, Watson etc, RCB failed to produce a consistent batting performance that could challenge the opponent. With a poor all-around performance, has lost 9 games out of 12 in the season and placed at the bottom of the points table, and are already out of the tournament.
