RCB Asked to Field 11 Batsmen with Big Virat Kohli Role Change in IPL 2024

On Monday night, RCB suffered their sixth defeat in seven games after losing to SRH by 25 runs. The SRH team achieved a record for the highest total in IPL history with 287/3, surpassing their earlier record of 277 set against the Mumbai Indians.

Former cricketer Srikkanth criticized RCB’s performance and suggested that they play with all 11 batters, especially at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He also remarked that Virat Kohli could have bowled better than those who leaked 287 runs in the match.

Srikkanth’s comments were made on his YouTube show, where he expressed disappointment in the performance of certain RCB bowlers, emphasizing that they should consider utilizing all available batting options. He also highlighted the absence of a specialist spinner in RCB’s lineup and the inexperience of their bowling unit.

In the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad demonstrated exceptional T20 batting, setting a new standard by hitting 22 sixes, which set another IPL record. They also hit a total of 41 boundaries during the innings, with Chris Gayle contributing significantly with 30 of those boundaries.

It was a challenging day for RCB’s bowlers, as they struggled to contain Sunrisers’ aggressive batting display.
