The RCBs have not relied on the services of Chris Morris, who suffers from lateral pressure, and this detracted from his team's balance to some extent. But why Josh Philippe is in Game XI is at least inexplicable.
The Australian wicketlkeeper is definitely extremely talented and has a very clear career ahead of him, but facing him against Moeen Ali is an odd decision. That decision may have been influenced by AB de Villiers' inability to keep goals and Devdutt Padikkal took on the original role of Parthiv Patel, but the RCB must first find a way around this dilemma.
Philippe made a nightmare debut with the bat behind the stumps, but RCB sent in a player who clearly lacked confidence at No. 3 against KXIP and it's no wonder he pocketed a 3-ball duck. If he were to play cricket against Kangaroos against England in the limited air time leading up to the 2020 IPL, the decision would still be understandable.
The choice of team and the composition of the order of the shots are other problems that plague the RCB all the time. During their time on the team, Shimron Hetmyer and Shane Watson played in a lower order and their effectiveness was almost entirely negated by their attacking position.
Kohli's captain is not critical enough. He has no foresight or the ability to say where best to meet the players and if they should be part of XI. This indecision has cost India more than an ICC trophy. Fourth place in the national team is an excellent example of Kohli's failure as captain.
Now that we've found out why Kohli should give up the captain, the question is who is the right man.
AB de Villiers has enough experience and skills to run an RCB, but it is highly unlikely that he wants to do so. Moeen Ali has been named vice captain of England against Ireland in the absence of Jos Buttler, but he doesn't inspire much confidence either.
Parthiv Patel led Gujarat to the unlikely Ranji Trophy victory, but his crossing is not safe enough to qualify as captain.
Aaron Finch is therefore the perfect choice for RCB. The Australian captain of the white ball has a terrible IPL record and did not even appear to be fit in two games this season.
However, Finch is a smart captain who has shown that leadership improves his game on big occasions. The form of the opener was Australia's main focus at the 2019 World Cup, but 507 runs were recorded in 10 games to take the country to the semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners England.
Taking on Captain Finch would also relieve Kohli of many responsibilities, although it must be said that the lack of a leading role could prevent even the current RCB captain from doing so. Kohli's game has risen to unrivaled levels since he took over the reins of the Indian team and he has always been a tab ahead.
On the other hand, you can hit freely. In addition, the capture of Kohli, who has undoubtedly been compromised since his appointment as captain, will improve (probably because he always thinks about going out to the field and changing bowls).
The ramifications of the removal of the Indian captain who is the face of the franchise certainly must be considered before making a decision, but Kohli should be open to the fact that the results simply did not justify him as captain. You may not like it, but the fact is that the best hitter in the world is a far cry from the best captain in the world.
The RCB must deliver it to Captain Aaron Finch immediately. If not, they may be as disappointed as in any IPL season. And for such a fun franchise that has a loyal, unwavering following, that would be a terrible shame.
After an encouraging victory against the Hyderabad Sunrisers (SRH) in their first game of the 13th Indian Premier League (IPL 2020), the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) succumbed to a humiliating defeat against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
The loss was embarrassing for the franchise not only because of the margin (97 runs), but also because KXIP had several former RCB players on the roster: Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep Singh, Sarfaraz Khan and Karun Nair. and Chris Jordan.
The defeat also brought to light a number of concerns that repeatedly loomed over Indian captain Virat Kohli. The 30-year-old has been in charge of the RCB since 2013 and only appeared once in the 2016 IPL final. He is at your disposal.
