Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth lashed out on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowlers for his or her poor efficiency towards the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) season to this point, remarking that even Virat Kohli, who has barely bowled in varied editions of IPL, would have conceded fewer runs that franchise’s frontline bowlers, together with Lockie Ferguson, Reece Topley, and so on.
RCB bowlers conceded 287 runs and will take solely three wickets towards SRH. SRH produced the very best complete in IPL historical past and broke their very own document of scoring 277 towards the Mumbai Indians (MI) because of some severe hitting from Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen. Though fiery knocks from skipper Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Dinesh
Karthik helped RCB put up a struggle and finish with 262/7 on the board, RCB are more likely to keep in mind the match largely for the mistaken causes.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth suggested the group that they need to play with 11 batters and even give overs to their frontline batters, skipper Faf Du Plessis, Virat and Cameron Green.
“Reece Topley is getting smashed. Lockie Ferguson was getting smashed. He has not done well in the IPL. He has travelled from Kolkata to Bengaluru. Will Jacks has been their best bowler. Better yet, they play 11 batters. Ask Faf du Plessis to bowl 2 overs. Give Cameron Green 4 overs. I think Virat Kohli wouldn’t have conceded this many had he bowled 4 overs. Virat Kohli is a decent bowler,” mentioned Srikkanth.
Srikkanth mentioned that he felt unhealthy for Virat, who was helplessly watching “balls fly out of the stadium.”.
“At one stage, I felt very bad for Virat Kohli, who was just watching the balls fly out of the stadium. He came out angry when he walked out to bat. Head was smashing them, Klaasen, after that. But Abdul Samad’s knock was the final nail in the coffin,” he mentioned.
Virat has taken solely 4 wickets in his IPL profession and had bowled final again in 2016. His final IPL wicket got here in 2011. (WATCH: RCB’s Dinesh Karthik Hits The Biggest Six Of IPL 2024, Ball Travels To 108 Meters)

In the run chase, Virat Kohli (42) and skipper Faf Du Plessis (62) put up an admirable 80-run partnership throughout the powerplay, unfazed by the scoring price and goal. But an excellent spell from skipper Pat Cummins (3/43) and Mayank Markande (2/46) diminished RCB to 122/5. Despite that, Dinesh Karthik (83) and Anuj Rawat (25) put up a struggle however fell in need of 25 runs, ending at 262/7.
