Struggling Virat Kohli Mutes TV To Silence Critics

Out-of-form Virat Kohli says that he has a sure-fire way of drowning out his growing number of critics -- he just mutes the television. The 33-year-old former India skipper has endured an extended batting slump for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and fell for his third golden duck of the season on Sunday. Commentators have said that the usually prolific batsman looks "overcooked" and needs a break, but in a mostly light-hearted video on Bangalore's website Kohli said that he has learnt to drown out those who criticise him.

Virat Kohli recorded his third golden duck of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday and once again a debate has started on whether the batter should take a break to rejuvenate himself. The idea was first floated by former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri, who has followed Kohli from close quarters. Whether the former India skipper needs a break was even discussed on-air by Harsha Bhogle, Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar while they were doing commentary for the match between RCB and SRH.

"Wicket Didn't Suit Pace": Josh Hazlewood After RCB's Win vs SRH

Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Josh Hazlewood said that the wicket during the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, was not suitable for pace bowlers. 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. "Sweaty again, nice and hot. The wicket probably got drier as the match went on. Being a day game, it deteriorated and we took the pace off. Our spinners bowled really well, we worked to a plan and achieved it. It (knuckle ball) is tough in these conditions with how sweaty everything is and when the dew comes in at night. It's a tough skill but seems to be coming out okay. Tonight's wicket didn't suit pace on," said Hazlewood in a post-match presentation.

Watch: Virat Kohli's Gesture For Dinesh Karthik In Dressing Room Goes Viral

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.

Even as Royal Challengers Bangalore recorded a crucial victory against SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continued. Kohli fell for his third golden duck of the season, taking his career tally in the IPL to six. RCB, however, did well to recover from the early blow and went on to score 192 for three, with captain Faf du Plessis hitting an unbeaten half-century. He was aided well by knocks from Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik.

IPL 2022, RCB vs SRH: Faf, Hasaranga guide Royal Challengers Bangalore to 67-run romp over Sunrisers Hyderabad

Royal Challengers Bangalore recovered from an ordinary start. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't and suffered their fourth successive defeat. Like in the match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the tendency to leave it late - they needed 124 from the last 10 overs and 82 from last five - will impact the playoff chances of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who faltered once again in the chase and lost by 67 runs after succumbing to the wiles of Wanindu Hasaranga (5/18). AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLETwo wickets in the first over meant SRH had their task cut out in overhauling RCB's 192 for three, which was built on the second wicket partnership of 105 (73b) between skipper Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar (48; 38b, 4x4, 6x2), and Dinesh Karthik's blitzkrieg. Karthik's unbeaten 30 (8b, 4x1, 6x4) included 25 in the final over by Fazalhaq Farooqi as the SRH pace attack felt the brunt of the RCB batters smarting from their nine-wicket defeat in the first leg. On a wicket where taking pace off the ball yielded dividends, the SRH attack floundered with the trio of Umran Malik, Kartik Tyagi and Farooqi conceding 114 runs in their 10 overs.
