India Today
IPL 2022, GT vs RCB: Virat Kohli will be in focus as Royal Challengers take on Gujarat Titans in the first match on Saturday. Kohli is in the middle of a poor run form, having scored a mere 128 runs from 9 matches so far.
Virat Kohli is in the middle of a nightmarish run in IPL 2022 and the former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain would want to turn it around when his team takes on table-toppers Gujarat Titans at the Brabourne Stadium in the first match on Saturday.
Virat Kohli's form is crucial for RCB, who are now 5th on the IPL 2022 points table with 10 matches from 9 matches. They have lost their last two games and Kohli will be expected to step up against GT, who have been the best team on show in the tournament.
Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the Indian Premier League but has been through a horror patch this season. Six years after his record-shattering season, Kohli has so far managed only 128 runs from 9 matches in 2022.
Virat Kohli looked in poor touch during his 9-run knock against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday. Before that game, he was dismissed for successive golden ducks against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Against Delhi Capitals, Kohli had scored only 12 and fell for 1 against Chennai Super Kings.
It was against Mumbai Indians earlier in the month that Virat Kohli really looked like he was getting back to his groove but he was controversially ruled out LBW for 48 and the former India captain walked off fuming.
Virat Kohli had started the season well, scoring an unbeaten 41 against Punjab Kings but followed that up with 12 and 5 against Kolkata Knight Riders and RR respectively.
