Even if Virat performs well, there is no guarantee whether RCB will win the trophy or not – Harbhajan Singh
Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB for the last 16 years. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India bowling legend Harbhajan Singh believes that poor batting record at Chennai Super Kings’ home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, has diminished Virat Kohli’s “greatness” in the IPL on that ground. The former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has played a total of 12 matches at the Chepauk ground, scoring 362 runs at an average of 30.17 and a strike rate of 111.38. This is his lowest average compared to any other Indian ground where he has played at least 10 IPL matches. The last time he scored a half-century here was in 2013. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s performance “Virat’s greatness has diminished in terms of his overall performance on that field,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports. It is a difficult ground to bat on. The bounce of the ball on that ground is quite uneven due to which it is a bit difficult to bat there. They have Jadeja, a brilliant bowler who bowls stump to stump. He will turn some balls and then leave some balls low. It is really difficult.” Bhajji further said, “If he is really ready to bat around 20 overs, he can put in a match-winning performance because it is easy to score two centuries at Chinnaswamy (RCB’s home ground) but it is not guaranteed at Chepauk. “ The former spinner said that it is not that if Virat performs well then RCB will win the title this season. But they would like Kohli to perform the way he did in IPL 2016. There he scored 973 runs at an average of 81.08 with a strike rate of 152.03. The former veteran spinner said that, Harbhajan said, “It is important for him to have a season like 2016, because if Virat scores runs then the team will progress. I don’t know whether they will win the cup or not.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the most famous franchise teams in the world. RCB has reached the IPL finals thrice, but the team has not been able to win the trophy even once. Faf du Plessis has been leading the team for the last two seasons after leaving the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Last season the team had a mixed bag, RCB was able to win 7 out of 14 matches. This season the team would like to win the trophy by showing excellent performance. RCB’s batting lineup for IPL 2024 looks great, but experts are constantly giving their views regarding the bowling attack. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore can win the first IPL title this season on the basis of its strong bowling attack. IPL 2024: they have express speed– Irfan Pathan Former Indian player Irfan Pathan became a part of Star Sports’ show Game Plan. During the show, Irfan Pathan while talking about the chances of RCB and Virat Kohli winning the first IPL title this year, said, ‘Now he (Virat Kohli) has got a team, as far as batting is concerned, I really feel that batting has become longer now, which was not the case some time ago. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘Many people are not giving a chance to RCB because they feel that their bowling is not the same as before. I also think the bowling could have been better, but what they did is that they have express pace on that pitch. If you can bowl 140+ consistently on flat pitches like the Chinnaswamy pitch, sometimes it can work. You might be surprised that this bowling unit can lift a trophy. This will be a very special moment for Virat Kohli because he was wanting this since 2008 but he could not touch that trophy.
