Virat Kohli’s poor form is a matter of concern for Royal Challengers Bangalore as of now as he has once again got out cheaply, scoring just 20 runs against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League. However, RCB’s director of cricket operations, Mike Hesson backed Kohli, saying that the dugout believed that he would get a big score soon as well.

“Virat, I thought, looked very good today,” Hesson said in the post-match press conference. “He looked in good touch, he was aggressive, and he is doing everything off the park as well in terms of making sure he prepares well. I thought today was going to be his day but once again it hits the other side of the thigh pad and goes down and he gets a single. He hasn’t had a huge amount of huge fortune especially when he has got himself set, when he has got himself in. He is as frustrated as anybody. We thought today was going to be the day.”

Virat Kohli has been out for a golden duck thrice this season and most of his scores came at a sluggish pace. However, Mike Hesson believes that it is a matter of one game only. Meanwhile, after the defeat to Punjab, they are still in fourth place with 14 points from 13 matches. Moreover, they are the only team in the top four that has a negative run-rate as well.

“Look, he is the best we have ever had in terms of RCB. He is an incredible player. He hasn’t scored the volume of runs he would have liked. Today he looked in really good touch. It is not a technical thing. As I said, he is putting in a lot of work behind the scenes. He looked in really good touch today. He was unfortunate. I thought we were going to see something special. Virat is as frustrated as anyone but we know that the epic one is around the corner. We have got a huge game coming up. So there is no reason why it won’t be in a few days’ time,” Mike Hesson concluded.
