Royal Challengers Bangalore – Virat Kohli – GOOD

Virat is captaining the RCB side for years now and is well-versed in handling the team. The first match was the grim reminder of the notion that great teams on paper do not necessarily translate into success on the ground. The loss against KKR in the first game must have stung Virat.

In the match against KXIP, he did well keep Yadav on for another over. Kohli handled his spinners well too. Another pleasing factor was his performance with the bat.
