Fans of every team in IPL want to see runs come out of Virat Kohli's bat: Gavaskar

A good sign for RCB is the way their batting mainstay Virat Kohli is batting in IPL. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes it will boost RCB’s chances of finishing in the top four in IPL 2023.

Saturday (April 15) will witness two mouth-watering contests in IPL as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) while Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) host Punjab Kings (PBKS) at home.

A good sign for RCB is the way their batting mainstay Virat Kohli is batting in IPL. Kohli's batting with positive intent this season is a big plus for the franchise.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes it will boost RCB's chances of finishing in the top four in IPL 2023.

Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live Show, Sunil Gavaskar said, "This year RCB's claim is on Virat Kohli. If he plays well in every game, then the chances of RCB winning increase. Virat is one of the biggest superstars and not only RCB but fans of every team want to see runs coming out of his bat."

Delhi Capitals' batting has been a weak link in the ongoing IPL 2023 and captain David Warner's side is winless in four games. Warner — who is being criticised for his strike rate in the tournament — has been the lone warrior with the bat for the Delhi franchise.

Former India pacer S Sreesanth has backed the senior Australia cricketer to do well with the bat and silence his critics.

Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live Show, Sreesanth said, "The hunger for runs never dies for David Warner. He's a typical Aussie, who's always determined to dominate the cricket pitch. I've enjoyed bowling to him as he's been one of the toughest batters to bowl to."
