Virat Kohli as a skipper hasn’t led RCB to the heights he would have expected to. His only bright moment came in 2016, where he led the side to the finale...
Royal Challengers Bangalore were expected to do some big things in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League after adding some key names and bolstering the squad. The middle order crisis that has plagued RCB over the years, was a position they wanted to identify this time. But three matches gone for the side, Virat Kohli’s men find themselves languishing at the bottom of the table.
Is there any way out? There are still 11 matches to be played and RCB need a change of fortunes to strike the right chords. Going by what we have seen, Kohli & CO. could find it difficult to make progression. Having said that, there is no connectivity in the RCB ranks and there seems a lot of disjointed elements on offer. So where it has gone wrong?
