Passion, energy not enough to win trophies, Kohli was never the best tactician: Gambhir

Royal Challenger Bangalore lost the knockout match with the Kolkata Cavaliers (KKR) in the 2021 IPL. After Virat Kohli’s players performed a dismal batting performance, KKR defeated RCB with four wickets.

Former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir said that Virat Kohli’s enthusiasm and energy for the game were not enough to win the trophy. He also questioned Corley’s tactical play. This is Virat Kohli’s last game as the captain of the RCB, because he has announced that he will no longer lead from the next IPL. Willat has been the captain of the RCB for the past 8 years.

“He has a long, long way to go. Eight years is a long time. Yes, Sanjay talked about his passion and things, but maybe he has never been the best tactician, or he has never been the best tactician. The shrewdness of the captain required on the cricket court. You must have instincts and be ahead of the game.

Yes, you will see enthusiasm and energy, but this is not enough to win a trophy. You also have to be a good tactician,” Gautam Gambier said on ESPNCricinfo when talking to Sanjay Manjareka. Corley has been the captain of the RCB for eight years, but never won a trophy. He also reached the finals, but failed to make it to his team.

“He has been captain in India for a long time, he has been captain of India in all three formats, so I am sure from a tactical and shrewd point of view, he is not there,” Gambier added.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
