Even as Royal Challengers Bangalore took a crucial win against SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, Virat Kohli’s battle with the bat continued. Kohli fell for his third golden duck of the season, taking his career in the IPL to six. However, RCB did well to recover from the early blow and scored 192 for three, with captain Faf du Plessis going for an unbeaten half-century. He was well helped by blows from Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik.
Wanindu Hasaranga then ran through the SRH batting to give RCB a thumping 67-run victory.
After RCB’s innings, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar joked on Star Sports about the “plus” he derives from Kohli’s current meager patch.
“The plus for me is that all these runs are saved for India,” he said with a chuckle.
“India has had a busy season and all these runs are being saved for India,” he said, much to the amusement of host Neroli Meadows and co-commentator Matthew Hayden.
He previously said it is difficult to judge a player’s performance when he hits the first ball.

“I think when someone gets out on the first ball there’s very little to judge because if a guy has been batting for a while you can see his feet don’t move or there’s no concentration, but the first ball When you leave, you can’t say anything more,” Gavaskar said of Kohli’s resignation.
With the win, RCB is fourth in the ranking with 14 points from 12 games.
