Virat Kohli heavily trolled after poor run of form that cost RCB their fourth consecutive loss
Virat Kohli and his teammates poor run of form cost Royal Challengers Bangalore their fourth consecutive loss. RCB have not won a single match in IPL 2019 as they sit at the bottom of the table like always. Virat Kohli scored 23 runs off 25 balls and this is not the first time he performed poorly in the tournament.
Kohli’s 6 against CSK in the opening match, 46 against Mumbai and 3 against SRH is not what his fans are looking for. RCB fans were hoping for their first IPL trophy this year but looking at their performance in the recent matches their dreams are brutally crushed.
Royal Challengers Bangalore will play Kolkata Knight Riders in their next game at M Chinnaswamy stadium on April 5. KKR have already won two out of the three matches they have played till now, while Kohli and company will look to put some points on the table as they have not won a single match.
*Virat Kohli's win %*

Rajasthan Royals register their first victory of IPL 2019 as they beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets yesterday. Jos Buttler's half-century and Shreyas Gopal's three wicket-haul proves to a crucial part.
Earlier, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first. Rajasthan’s bowling attack did a really good job to restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore at 158-4 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli opened the batting along with Parthiv Patel and he was looking good before he was dismissed by Shreyas Gopal for 25-ball 23.
AB de Villiers came in and scored 9-ball 13 before he was sent back by Shreyas Gopal. Shimron Hetmyer continued his poor streak of performances as he was dismissed by Shreyas Gopal. Parthiv Patel scored a beautiful half-century before he was dismissed by Jofra Archer for 41-ball 67.
Marcus Stoinis and Moeen Ali finished it for RCB as they made 31 and 18 runs respectively. Both of them hit 2 fours and 1 six each in their innings to take Bangalore to 158 runs.
Shreyas Gopal took three wickets for Rajasthan, while Jofra Archer took one to his name. Gopal also had the best economy rate in the lot as he went for just 12 runs in his four overs.
Ajinkya Rahane and Jos Buttler started the second innings for Rajasthan and they notched up a 60 run partnership for the men in pink. Ajinkya Rahane was the first batsman to depart as he was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal for 20-ball 22. Jos Buttler scored an amazing half-century before he was dismissed by Chahal for 59 off 43.
Steve Smith scored 38 off 31 before he was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj. RCB dropped a lot of catch but at the end Umesh Yadav was able to get hold of Smith.
