Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach Sanjay Bangar has no doubt Virat Kohli will "come back strong" after the star batsman fell to a second successive golden duck in his team's nine-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Saturday.
Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum backed his batters and said that they have been 'predominantly' good. Needing 29 runs in the last two overs, Gujarat's Alzarri Joseph delivered a heroic 20th over and dismissed Andre Russell for 25-ball 48, to register an eight-run win. "Our batters have been very good so far. We scored 210-odd in the last game. We have got 170-plus batting first (against Sunrisers Hyderabad), our batters have been predominantly very good," said McCullum in a post-match press conference.
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Virat Kohli was out on the first ball for the second straight match as his lean patch continued in the Indian Premier League on Saturday during his side Royal Challengers Bangalore's humiliating defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
MUMBAI : Virat Kohli was out on the first ball for the second straight match as his lean patch continued in the Indian Premier League on Saturday during his side Royal Challengers Bangalore's humiliating defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Andre Russell on Saturday became the first player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to achieve a four-wicket haul in a one-over spell. Russell achieved this feat during the clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the DY Patil stadium. He dismissed Abhinav Manohar, Lockie Ferguson, Rahul Tewatia and Yash Dayal in the 20th over of the GT innings to restrict them at 156/9. Earlier, the record of most wickets in a single over was held by Kolkata's Laxmi Ratan Shukla, who had registered a figure of 3/6 against Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in 2008.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have enjoyed a five-match winning streak and head coach Tom Moody has attributed role clarity for the recent success. Sunrisers cantered to a nine-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday to rise to the second spot in the points table. "We are very specific in our training as to where we are playing, who the opposition is," Moody said at the post-match press conference.
Virat Kohli has already etched his name in the top echelons of the game thanks to some stupendous performances with the bat. But the Indian run-machine is going through a lean patch in his career. On Saturday, Kohli was dismissed a for a golden duck by Marco Jansen as SunRisers Hyderabad decimated the Royal Challengers Bangalore to register their fifth straight win. Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck in RCB's previous match against Lucknow Super Giants -- something of a rarity for him to be dismissed for consecutive golden ducks. The former skipper has scored a total of just 119 runs in eight games in IPL 2022 at an average of 17, which has led many fans to wonder if Kohli's best is past him. However, former England star Kevin Pietersen came out in defence of Kohli.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Kane Williamson credited his bowlers for their stupendous performance that helped them bowl Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) out for 68 in the nine-wicket win at the Brabourne Stadium here on Saturday. Marco Jansen landed the early blows and T Natarajan wiped off the lower-order in a brilliant display of medium pace bowling to restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore to a sub-100 total in the IPL 2022 game. Jansen took 3/25, claiming all three of his victims in his first over itself, the second of the innings, as he dismissed Faf du Plessis (5), Virat Kohli (0) and Anuj Rawat (0) to reduce RCB to 8/3 at the end of the second over from which they never recovered.
