After having struggled with an injury concern in the last game against the Mumbai Indians, Virat Kohli, the veteran RCB batter, did not take the field during the second innings. This had caused several narratives to be built around his probable availability in the IPL.
The Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru game just didn't feel right for the veteran Indian batters as both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli struggled with injuries. Virat, however, continued his batting streak, though he missed out on scoring runs quickly enough.
On the contrary, the Mumbai Indians' former skipper, Rohit Sharma, had to leave the field after having gotten a good start, and that was due to the massive issue with his footwork following a hamstring injury, which has now pushed him to undergo scans, before his availability could be confirmed.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a promising start to the season after having won the first two matches of the competition. They then faced a massive defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, as for the first time, they stepped out of Chinnaswamy.
Kohli played a fine knock at the Wankhede Stadium, where he scored a second half-century in the season; however, his strike rate was largely reduced. Kohli's strike rate this season has been stupendous at RCB's home ground in the Chinnaswamy.
After the freak injury that kept him benched during the second innings of the chase at the Wankhede Stadium, Virat Kohli was spotted back in the RCB nets ahead of their upcoming clash against the Lucknow Super Giants with his left leg strapped.
