IPL 2017, RCB vs GL: 5 things that went wrong for Royal Challengers Bangalore

#2 Virat Kohli’s barren spell

Virat Kohli has had a poor season with the bat in IPL 2017

After leading India to a 2-1 win over Australia some time back, Kohli is failing to inspire RCB in this tournament so far as his players have not been coordinating very well which is well reflected in RCB’s results.

After coming back from a shoulder injury he sustained during the Australia series, Kohli began the IPL brilliantly by scoring a 47-ball 62 against the Mumbai Indians which was followed by scores of 28 and 64 against Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions respectively. However, he failed to score against the Kolkata Knight Riders in RCB’s lowest total of 49 which was followed by a 13-ball 10 against Gujarat Lions.

Every captain has to go through a rough spell and this is clearly one of those spells for Kohli. However, we have seen Kohli come back strongly and we can only expect him to do the same and end RCB’s poor form as after the IPL. He will be captaining India for the first time in a major ICC event at the Champions Trophy.
