A prolonged bad patch can really dent someone's confidence and it is only human that Virat Kohli also desperately sought some luck which hasn't gone his way of late, said Royal Challengers Bangalore Director of Cricket Mike Hesson. Kohli finally showed glimpses of his old self with a chiselled 73 in a successful run-chase which kept RCB in the equation for a play-off berth.
Royal Challengers Bangalore director of cricket Mike Hesson said that Virat Kohli's intensity proved vital in the win against the Gujarat Titans after the opener roared back into form to boost their chances of making the Indian Premier League playoffs.
England Test coach Brendon McCullum says improving the team's flagging fortunes will also help secure the red-ball game's international future. The former New Zealand captain will take charge of an England side that have won just one of their past 17 Tests, with fans hoping his partnership with new skipper Ben Stokes proves the catalyst for a revival.
Virat Kohli is a modern day great is no secret. The former India captain has over the years wowed cricket fans across the world with his batting prowess. But just like it has happened to most cricketing greats in the past, Virat too is going through a lean patch. The biggest problem here is that the lean patch has become quite an extended one, going by the very high standards that the fans have become used to seeing Virat set for himself. A lot has happened over the last eight months or so. He stepped down as India T20I captain, stepped down as RCB captain and was replaced as India ODI captain. The centuries continue to evade him, but the focus no doubt is more on this simply because over the years he has set the bar so high.
Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers enjoy a great fan following in India and it is majorly due to their stint with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. Hence, it is no surprise that the side named these two stars as the first two inductees into their Hall Of Fame. The official Twitter handle of the franchise posted a video on Twitter, in which Mike Hesson, Director of Cricket and former skipper Virat Kohli go on to induct the batting greats into the Hall Of Fame.
Indian Premier League (IPL) is not due to any technical issue and a big knock is imminent from the star batsman, Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Mike Hesson said. Kohli has managed only one fifty in 13 innings this season and scored three ducks despite playing with new-found freedom having relinquished Bangalore captaincy last year. Against Punjab Kings on Friday, he failed to capitalise on another good start and was dismissed for 20 but the 33-year-old appeared to still enjoy the backing of the team.
MUMBAI : Virat Kohli's run drought in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not due to any technical issue and a big knock is imminent from the star batsman, Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Mike Hesson said.
Set a mammoth target of 210 against Punjab Kings, all eyes were on Virat Kohli to finally make his statement but the Royal Challengers Bangalore batter was dismissed after scoring 20, and in the end, the side stumbled to a 54-run loss. In the second over of the chase, Kohli had played his trademark cover drive off the bowling of Arshdeep Singh and it was looking like the batter was in the groove. However, he perished in the fourth over bowled by Kagiso Rabada. After the dismissal, Kohli looked at the skies and was seen saying something.
