Fans’ hearts are broken by Virat Kohli’s response after being removed against PBKS.
In IPL 2022, nothing is going well for Virat Kohli. The Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman got off to a good start against Punjab Kings, hitting two crisp boundaries off Arshdeep Singh in the second over of the RCB chase. He then announced himself by hitting a six off left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar, becoming the first cricketer in the Indian Premier League to reach 6500 runs. Kohli was soon dismissed in an unusual manner off Kagiso Rabada’s bowling, so the joy was short-lived. However, it was the former RCB captain’s subsequent reaction that went viral on social media. Coverage of the IPL 2022
Kohli was seen looking upwards and saying something along the lines of “what else do you want me to do?” before slowly walking back to the pavilion and scream again.
Rabada tucked Kohli up with a fast delivery that came back sharply, cramping the right-hander for space in the second ball of the third over. Kohli attempted a flick shot, but the ball brushed against his thigh pad and ballooned up into the air, landing in the fine leg fielder’s hands. The PBKS fielders raised their hands in protest, but the umpire simply shook his head.
Mayank Agarwal signalled for DRS almost immediately, and replays revealed a small spike as the ball passed Kohli’s gloves before hitting the top half of his front pad and landing in the fine-leg fielder’s hands.
Kohli was dismissed for 20 off 14 balls after the decision was reversed. Kohli’s heartbreaking reaction after being released was widely shared on social media.
Kohli has only scored 236 runs in 12 games, with an average of 19.
Meanwhile, RCB were defeated by the Punjab Kings by 54 runs at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. PBKS batted first and were led by Jonny Bairstow’s 29-ball 66 and Liam Livingstone’s powerful innings (70 off 42). They scored a whopping 209 for 9.
In response, RCB got off to a good start, but their innings quickly deteriorated after they lost three wickets between the fourth and fifth overs. Kagiso Rabada finished with 3 for 21 as the RCB innings was dismissed for 155.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
