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.
