Shreyas Iyer’s Delhi Capitals (DC) beat Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 4 wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
This is the sixth strai🎃ght loss for RCB now and if they want to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs from here on, they have to win at least 7 out their remaining eight matches.
Earlier, Kohli played an uncharacteristic sedate knock as the visitors restricted the hosts to 149 for eighth. Kag🅘iso Rabada was the pick of the bowlers for Delhi. He claimed four wickets and gave away just 21 runs in his quota of four overs.

In an ideal world there must be a bilateral series between Lahore Qalandars and Royal Ch𝕴allengers Bangalore. Just to see who is more bad.

RCB on the verge of being totally marginalised in the IPL. Never had🌱 such a poor start any season. Virat Kohli has a task on hand.

If India are smart they rest now for the World Cup … Give him some time off before the big event …

Wondering why are even playing. No character from anyone. This💦 is shambolic. Please quit and give my captain the rest he needs.

RCB must seriously consider playing a practice game between two teams amongst themselves. This wa🧸y RCB can win and the fans can see them win as well. Am not kidding, they need to definitely do something like this to thrill the sellout crowd who turn up every game.

Imagine a scenario where Sachin Tendulkar & Brian Lara were in the same team during the 1990s & yet it would be the worst team of its time… RCB fits the bill completely! A team consisting of Kohli & ABD been perennially abysmal.
