Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the few, who have seen the rise of Virat Kohli right through his career. Though he started poorly, the franchise stuck to him hoping for the better. As they expected, he grown a lot in stature and knocked many memorable knocks for the team but unfortunately, couldn’t deliver with his captaincy. Meanwhile, the Australian Mitchell Johnson makes his voice on Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
Despite losing the tournaments, they asked Virat Kohli to lead the franchise once again. Under his captaincy, they reached finals once when they failed to defend heavy target on the board against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Bangalore.
In IPL 2019, it wasn’t the right day at the office for Virat Kohli and Co during the opening game of the tournament. They were outsmarted by Chennai Super Kings in all sections of the game thus starting the season on a poor note.
Right from the toss, everything went against Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore. They lost the toss and were put into bat first. The Bangalore skipper Virat has gone for a cheap score while the rest of the batsmen followed him. The game not only cost them 2 points but also dented their Run Rate.
If they got rid of their captain, they might just win – Mitchell Johnson
In a question and chat session with the fans, one of them asked Mitchell Johnson’s prediction for Royal Challengers Bangalore’s chance in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League. The reply from Johnson was something, which Virat Kohli and RCB fans would never want to hear.
Johnson believes that Royal Challengers might win the tournament if they remove their captain Virat Kohli from the duties, who failed to give them a trophy for quite a period of time now. His reply read ”If they got rid of their captain, they might just win.”
Well, it would be interesting to see how Virat Kohli responds to the comment from Mitchell Johnson. Meanwhile, the run machine of RCB and also India is pretty determined to win the trophy for RCB at any cost.
