Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and RCB will face an asset test against Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals in a must-win game on Sunday. RCB have 10 points in 11 matches and a win in their remaining three games will take them to 16 points which will keep them in the playoff race, even though qualification won’t be guaranteed. RCB need to ensure that the team pick big wins as it may all come down to the net run rate due to a clustered points table.
Virat Kohli has been in fine form in the ongoing IPL 2023, scoring 420 runs in 11 matches. There have been a few questions raised on Virat Kohli’s strike rate and if it is hampering the team’s chances of posting big totals, however, Kohli has looked unfazed by the controversy and is batting in his own zone.
