Corey is playing in place of him. I dont know but these things aren't making difference. It is something else.

I think they shouldn't chase as their bowling is leaking too many runs. AB is much better when batting first.
 
RCB must be disbanded. They have been the biggest let-downs in franchise sports let alone the IPL.

Well he did win an WC in front of them a week back. Kholi has not even won a ct. Let alone a WC or t20wc.

He's still the darling. People remember his MOS from 2 T20 WC and he's the best batsman in the world. In IPL, crowd always wants the best Indian players to perform well but in the end they want their team to win. With the match already lost, they were cheering for his century

Perhaps yes. Kohli is great in chasing but I think they should still bat in first inning.

I think RCB will come good next match(particularly AB and de Kock) but I cant say if that will make the team back as strong contenders for top 4.
 
Rcb should drop de cock, Sarfaraz and Anderson. Open with Parthiv and Mandeep. Kholi and Ab to follow. They can even try Washington in opening position.
 
Mi should drop fizz as he's already been fizzled out. A waste of a space.
 
Terrific knock by Sharma and Lewis was ideal partner for him.

Kohli played a very mature inning.He dealt with Dangerous phase smartly where Markande and Krunal were bowling.I thought kohli was going to lose his wicket during that spell in looking for win.

Kohli learned from dhoni how to never give wicket till end and lose matches.
 
Poor Kohli. Good that MI are on the board though, Funny how the most star studded teams are at the bottom of the table though. Kind of a Lahore Qalandars situation.

In IPL Rohit will always wipe the floor with Kohli.

Agreed. The difference in ability between these 2 players was highlighted today. Both played a good innings but Kohli's strike rate of 140 odd compared to Sharma's 180 odd says alot about who is a much better striker of the ball. Good innings by both nontheless. Magnificent batsmen.

I wouldn't say they should be disbanded but no doubt they've disappointed time and time again. Could be due to Kohli's team selection, or just that they are reliant on Kohli and AB.

Difference is that Rohit wasn't chasing. He would have failed spectacularly while Kohli has numerous chases (IPL and international) under his belt. Problem was that he did not have anyone to support him today once ABDV was out.

Agreed that Kohli is a spectacular chaser but Rohit's ability to hit out when the situation requires it is unparalleled in the Indian team. RCB with all their star studded batting lineups still can't rid themselves of their overeliance on Kohli and AB, especially when the run rate is climbing. That, in my opinion, is the reason why MI have been much more successful historically in the IPL than RCB.

RCB batting order like the Indian order is top heavy, if they fail the whole team usually fails.

True. Kohli can't match Rohit's hitting ability. RCB has glaring weaknesses in the middle order. QDK and AB need to start earning their dollars. There's no one else in that team that can win games.

This bipartisan cheer good cricket is **, you don't cheer for the opponent, this is sport. You will never see people at Anfield cheer for utd or OT cheering for City or Liverpool.

I remember Mumbai booing Kohli off the ground, which ****** him off enough to throw a hissy fit post match. That's what I want to see, this is the ipl I support MI here not the Indian team.

Game was lost by the 10th over and he knew it, he did the smart thing by trying to limit the damage rather than go for impossible glory.

Yup . Dhoni would've done that even when the match is ON.
