Virat Kohli’s Heart-Breaking Reaction After RCB’s Exit From IPL2023 Left Fans Teary-Eyed
The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was in superb form in the IPL 2023 but still his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore failed in making it to the playoffs after Gujarat Titans defeated it by 6 wickets in the match which was played yesterday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Virat Kohli smashed his second century of the IPL 2023 in yesterday’s match and helped his team in posting a good total of 197/5 in the stipulated 20 overs. With this century, Virat Kohli became the third batter to score the second consecutive century and it was his seventh century of the IPL which is the highest by any batter in the tournament so far.
The toss was won by Hardik Pandya and he put RCB to bat first on its home ground. RCB got a good start as the openers Virat Kohli (101 runs not out, 61 balls, 13 fours & 1 six) and skipper Faf du Plessis (28 runs, 19 balls, 5 fours) produced a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket but after that, no other batter was able to spend much time on the crease or play a big innings. While Michael Bracewell (26 runs, 16 balls, 5 fours) and Anuj Rawat (23 runs not out, 15 balls, 1 four & 1 six) made useful contributions, failure of the middle-order once again troubled the Bangalore franchise.
GT lost its first wicket of Wriddhiman Saha (12 runs, 14 balls, 2 fours) quite early but Shubman Gill played a superb knock of 104 not out (52 balls, 5 fours & 8 sixes) and became the fourth batter to score the second consecutive century in the IPL. Shubman Gill got good support from Vijay Shankar (53 runs, 35 balls, 7 fours & 2 sixes) and they laid the foundation of their team’s win. GT chased the target successfully with 6 wickets in hand and 5 balls remaining in its innings.
Virat Kohli was sitting in the RCB dug out when Shubman Gill was scoring runs freely and his facial expressions were quite gloomy as he knew that his team was moving towards a defeat. After Shubman Gill played the winning shot on the first ball of the twentieth over, Virat Kohli was seen hiding his face in his cap, it is being said that he threw his cap or a water bottle in anger but nothing can be said with confirmation regarding this.
Here are the tweets which captured Virat Kohli’s reaction when his team lost the match:

Always proud of you virat …. Your fighting spirit is what we love the most… No trophies will overshadow your contribution for respective teams

Time and again RCB have let us know that a 3-4 players do not win you tournaments.
ABD, Faf, Siraj only played consistently this season.
Maxwell and Hasaranga/Bracewell were on and off.
Too many opportunities for the non performing cadre – Karthik, Lomror, Rawat, Vyshak. 1/3

If you bank on 3 players, this is bound to happen. Virat is absolutely champ but RCB as a team was expecting some miracle to happen in most of the matches.
I hope they will remove DK, harshal in next season and bring some quality bowlers.
Rajat patidar was missed badly— ashishsoni (@soniashi15) May 22, 2023
RCB every year plays only with 6 players. Top 3 batsman and top 3 bowlers. The other 5 players are for Charity. Its now a tradition over the years. Winning is not important, participation is.

It's heartbreaking to see Kohli's efforts not being reciprocated by the team. He's a true champion and deserves better.
