Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis has played extraordinary cricket: Sunil Gavaskar | Ipl News
Royal Challengers Bengaluru after winning just one game from the first eight and looking like were done and dusted in the IPL 2024 made a resounding comeback winning the next six games in a row and qualifying for the playoffs. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar would laud team-experienced campaigners Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis for the team’s remarkable second-half resurgence.
The leading players there, Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and other senior players, must be the ones most encouraging to the other team members. Other team members can quickly get into a situation where they might feel we’ve lost everything. It’s up to the seniors, and I think they have done their job. They have done it showing them how. Faf and Virat have played extraordinary cricket,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
Du Plessis’ (421 runs striking at 161.81) struggling with form in the first half of the tournament is looking like is back to his best in the last few games. Kohli (708 runs striking at 155.60) on the other hand has been having another fruitful season with the bat and holds the orange cap before RCB Eliminator clash against Rajasthan Royals.
Can Rajasthan Royals turn tide?
While RCB are coming into the game with momentum on their side. RR has been in a slump losing five of the last six after looking impenetrable in the first half of the tournament.
“Rajasthan, on the other hand, have lost their last four or five matches, and they didn’t play well in their last game. So they’ve been out of practice. Now, unless they do something special like KKR did today, despite not playing for 11 days, it could turn out to be another one-sided game tomorrow. I fear that it will be another one-sided game where RCB, who are playing just phenomenal cricket, will walk all over RR,” Gavaskar would say.
