It has not been an Indian Premier League season to remember for Virat Kohli so far. India’s treadmill has been kept quiet by opposition bowlers in all three games it has played with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the United Arab Emirates. Although RCB has managed to win two of the three matches in the tournament, Kohli has only contributed 18 runs for his team. He has scores of 14, 1 and 3 and would now look to resurrect his season in upcoming matches.

With Kohli going through a rough patch, fans have begun to doubt RCB’s pattern. But former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has backed Kohli to do well in upcoming matches, predicting that he could get at least 400-500 runs at the 2020 IPL.

“It’s a class act that everyone knows. So what if you’ve had three quiet games? He’s the kind of hitter who will make up for it towards the end, ”Gavaskar said on air after RCB’s game against MI.
“It may have started slowly, but by the time the tournament is over, he will have 400-500 runs, which is what he gets every year. There was a year in which she had nearly 1,000 races (in 2016) and hundreds as well (4). I may not get 900 runs (at IPL 2020) because the first 3 matches have been quiet, but 500 runs in total, all are written there. ”
RCB fans look forward to seeing their captain return to form in his next match against the Rajasthan Royals, to be played on Saturday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
