Following the expulsion of Royal Challengers Bangalore from the 2020 Indian Premier League, Virat Kohli is once again on the firing line. Many have questioned whether Kohli is the right man to lead RCB, including former India hitter Gautam Gambhir, who believes that RCB must look past him if they want to end his wait for an inaugural IPL title. Eight years have passed since Kohli has been captain and it is time for RCB to move on.

However, Gambhir’s longtime teammate in Delhi and India doesn’t feel that way. According to him, Kohli is a good captain who is being let down by an unbalanced team and that removing from his position will not solve the team’s problems as long as the management does not seek to bring more quality players to the team.

“A captain is only as good as his team. When Virat Kohli captains India, he is able to deliver the results. Win matches: ODI, T20I tests. But when he’s the captain of RCB, his team can’t perform, ”Sehwag told Cricbuzz.
“It is very important for the captain to have a good team. So I think management shouldn’t try to think about changing their captain and rather think about how they can improve this team. Who should be added to the team to make sure their performance improves? “

RCB lost the IPL tie against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday to be eliminated. However, the real concern is how badly they have fallen after a positive start to the season. In its first 10 games, RCB won seven, before losing the next five in a row. Sehwag recognizes that what RCB needs to have an established hitting unit is a good starter along with a decent lower-order hitter. They, along with Kohli, AB de Villiers and Devdutt Padikkal, can help turn RCB’s fortunes next year.
“Every team has a set batting order, but RCB never has. It’s just ABD and Virat, who keep changing order, ”added Sehwag. “With Padikkal coming to the fore, I think RCB needs to have one more starter and a good lower-order hitter. These five batters should be enough to win games. In the same way, they would have to rely on their Indian fast bowlers. They are all taken to the dry cleaner. It’s not like Rabada, Morris and others haven’t been taken for careers. ”
