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.
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.
Marco Jansen bowled a fiery spell as SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowled out Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for a paltry sum of 68 in Match 35 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. After electing to bowl, Jansen gave SRH the best possible start, taking three wickets in the second over as RCB were reduced to eight for three. The lanky South African pacer snagged Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli off consecutive deliveries before giving Anuj Rawat his marching orders in the final ball of the over.
SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a thumping win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after bowling them out for just 68 runs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday after Gujarat Titans beat Kolkata Knight Riders by eight runs in a thrilling contest. Hardik Pandya's third consecutive half-century saw GT register a total of 156/9, while Andre Russell took four wickets for just five runs in an incredible 20th over. However, KKR faltered in their chase and Russell's 25-ball 48 was not enough to take them over the line. Then, Marco Jansen's incredible over where he dismissed RCB's top three aided by T Natarajan taking three wickets of his own helped SRH dismiss RCB for the sixth-lowest total in IPL history. Abhishek Sharma then smashed 47 off 28 as SRH made short work of the chase, winning by nine wickets in eight overs.
Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch and recorded back-to-back golden ducks in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. In the last game against SunRisers Hyderabad, the RCB batter edged the first ball he faced off Marco Jansen to second slip and his expression after the dismissal said it all. So far, in the ongoing season, Kohli has managed to score just 119 runs from eight games and his form is starting to become a concern looking how India have to play a T20 World Cup this year in Australia.
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.
