‘Disgraceful,’ Says Furious Virat Kohli After Worst Batting Show in IPL History
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli on Sunday minced no words as he analyzed his side’s execution against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League tie at the Eden Gardens.

“This is our most exceedingly awful batting execution, if not the most exceedingly terrible ever in IPL. It truly stings. I thought we could underwrite and pursue the score down. I can’t generally say anything now, since it was that terrible. As expert cricketers, we are relied upon to improve. Our execution was unsatisfactory. Shameful batting, careless from us, one of the most noticeably bad falls ever,” an obviously irritated and passionate Kohli said after the match.
Kohli himself neglected to shoot in the wake of playing a flighty shot as he pursued a widish conveyance just to offer a catch to Manish Pandey at second slip.
“The sight-screen is little here, one person got up as the bowler was stacking up, and that diverted me. Still it wasn’t a major ordeal. That was only one down. Nine folks could have done the occupation,” Kohli said when asked in regards to his expulsion.
The India captain said his side had “nothing to survey anything about the second half” of the match.
“We have to overlook it and push ahead. We are a greatly improved group. We got 200 or more in the last amusement. I’m certain everybody acknowledges what they’ve fouled up. You need to turn out, show aim and back yourselves. I’m certain we won’t bat like that again in the competition,” he said.
