After facing a 67-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson said that his side need to come up with ways to reverse pressure and turn things around. Faf du Plessis' unbeaten knock of 73 and Wanindu Hasaranga's five-wicket haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore beat SunRisers Hyderabad by 67 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
If Virat Kohli's name wasn't attached to that sequence of batting scores in the world's richest cricket league, selectors may already have run out of patience.

Virat Kohli himself might have failed with the bat against SunRisers Hyderabad but that didn't stop him from cheering on his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammates during the IPL 2022 clash between the two teams at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Kohli applauded from the dressing room after RCB skipper Faf du Plessis reached his half-century. But one of Kohli's gesture in particular has gone viral. Dinesh Karthik played a whirlwind knock of 30 not out off just eight balls to help RCB post a match-winning score of 192 for three in 20 overs. As Karthik walked into the dressing room after his heroics, Kohli greeted him by first bowing down and then giving him a quick hug.
