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.
Virat Kohli is doing "everything that is under his control" but there comes a phase in a player's life when even the first edge is being taken by fielders, said Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) head coach Sanjay Bangar in former India captain's defence after his second 'golden duck' in the ongoing Indian Premier League season. On Saturday, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beat Bangalore by nine wickets after dismantling the star-studded batting line-up for a mere 68 runs. Kohli, who hasn't scored a hundred in any format for more than three years now, has got out to first-ball ducks in successive games with a familiar pattern of dismissals outside the off-stump.

Delhi Capitals cruised to a 9-wicket win over Punjab Kings on Wednesday as they chased down the below par target of 116 run sin just 10.3 overs to register a comprehensive win. The match was set up by Delhi's bowlers as they dismissed Punjab for just 115 runs. It was a complete team performance as four bowlers picked up 2 wickets each to bring about Punjab's downfall.
Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw had a quiet start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, but sprung to life with two back-to-back half-centuries. After a failure against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he was again at his destructive best as he smashed 41 off just 20 deliveries to help DC chase their 115-run target in 10.3 overs to register a thumping nine-wicket win. Shaw has stood out since last season for his aggressive play at the top of the order that has helped give DC strong starts.
Danish legend Mathias Boe is likely to return for a second stint as the doubles coach of the Indian badminton team after Malaysia's Tan Kim Her declined the offer despite the Sports Ministry approving his appointment. Boe, a London Olympics silver-medallist and former world No. 1 doubles player, had trained the Indian doubles players, including Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. "We were very keen to get Tan Kim Her and also had got the approval of SAI and ministry but then he refused to accept the offer. So he is not coming as of now," Badminton Association of India (BAI) secretary general Sanjay Mishra told PTI.
