IPL 2021: Under-pressure Virat Kohli Could Be ‘Removed as RCB Captain Mid-way’

There’s a possibility that Virat Kohli could be removed as the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) mid-way through the ongoing UAE leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a former India cricketer has said.

And the reason seems to be quite evident after witnessing RCB’s, more so Virat’s, meek surrender against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi on Monday.

RCB had a humiliating return to IPL when they were bundled out for just 92 by KKR in their first match of the Phase-2. It was RCB’s sixth-lowest total in IPL, as they lost to the Eoin Morgan-led KKR by nine wickets.

After opting to bat, Kohli (5 runs off 4 balls) fell prey to pacer Prasidh Krishna in just the second over of the match. The 32-year-old batsman was trapped plum in front and a bad review call didn’t help his case either.
