Virat Kohli is known to wear his heart on his sleeve. The star opener expressed his frustration at his Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammates, so they were smashed all over the park against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Pat Cummins-led team beat their record for the highest-ever score in the IPL as they smacked 287 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Virat Kohli gives his teammates an earful
Seeing his RCB teammates get trounced by the SRH batters, Kohli couldn’t hold himself back. He was seen kicking the ground, mumbling to himself in anger at the boundary, and even shouting at his teammates for their sloppy performance.
Kohli takes matter into own hands
Following a disgraceful bowling performance, the RCB opener decided to handle things on his own. He gave his side a flying start, scoring 42 runs in just 20 balls and helping his side get to 79 by the end of the powerplay. The inning was to prove his critics wrong, showing that he can bat in fifth gear if and when needed.
