Virat Kohli, the best batsman in world cricket, the player with the most number of runs in T20I history, the breaker of every record. What does the Indian skipper lack? You are right, an Indian Premier League trophy. Virat Kohli has not won a single IPL silverware since the inception of the league in 2008. RCB not winning an IPL trophy is equivalent to Ronaldo and Messi not winning a Champions League. It is now becoming difficult to keep a blind eye on Virat Kohli and not blame him for RCB’s failure over the years.
Why Is It Difficult For RCB To Win The IPL With Virat Kohli In The Side
Exchange Of Captaincy
Virat Kohli has proved himself to be a great captain for Team India since the time he took over from MS Dhoni. He has amassed several records since taking over the blue army. However, his records are not good in ICC championships. Virat Kohli has failed to win a single ICC trophy as a captain, be it ICC T20I World Cup, Champions Trophy or 50-50 World Cup. The same can be said about his tenure as RCB’s captain. RCB can not replace him and assign a new captain as it looks very uncanny for Virat Kohli to play under someone else’s captaincy.
It will come up as an insult for an Indian T20I skipper to play under a different captain in an Indian league. Virat Kohli will not accept that. RCB have a good team, what they need is proper guidance from here on. RCB will not be able to name a new captain until Virat Kohli is there in the team.
The Pressure Of Winning
Virat Kohli is, arguably, the best player India has produced over the last decade. He is abnormally brilliant with his bat. To understand that the Indian superstar has not won a single IPL is something very uncanny. The pressure is building on Virat Kohli with each proceeding year. He will have to win an IPL to go down as one of the best in Indian cricket. However, this pressure is slowly turning into a toxic relation between Kohli and RCB. Kohli can be seen frustrated on the pitch, which leads to rushed decisions by the skipper. Virat Kohli was spotted dropping multiple catches in the last season of IPL, which was very unnatural by the skipper. The netizens can be constantly seen trolling the team with tons of Virat Kohli memes during the IPL. Both RCB and Virat Kohli should find a new partner in the league if they wish to win an IPL trophy going ahead.
