IPL 2020 | RCB failed to go through as Virat Kohli didn't match his 'high standards': Sunil Gavaskar

India TV News  

Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a disappointing six-wicket defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday, ending their hope to clinch maiden IPL title. Reacting to RCB's loss, India great Sunil Gavaskar said that Kohli failed to match the 'high standards' which he sets for himself. Even now, in this particular team, they have got an Aaron Finch, who is a fine T20 player, young Devdutt Padikkal, who began well and then Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, then you have really got it made,” Gavaskar added. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir also said that Kohli needs to be 'accountable' for not leading RCB to the title in the past eight years. Meanwhile, Gavaskar also asked RCB team management to give a proper role to all-rounder Shivam Dube.
