Sunil Gavaskar's 'fear' involving Virat Kohli ahead of RR vs RCB IPL 2024 Eliminator: '… feel we've lost everything'

Hindustan Times  

If there ever is a documentary made after Royal Challengers Bengaluru, their IPL 2024 chapter promises to be the most detailed, decorated and most read, given the nature of their campaign. Will Virat Kohli prove Sunil Gavaskar right in the IPL 2024 Eliminator They have won six matches in a row – RCB's second-longest winning streak – and now stand three steps away from ending their 16-year-wait. One team, advances to play Qualifier 2, while the other heads home, and Sunil Gavaskar is fearful that a game as high-octane as an IPL Eliminator might end up being one-way traffic. Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar's consistency has ensured the batting fires at the top of the order, whereas the bowling, which for years has been RCB's bane, is putting up a spirited fight. They've got bowlers bowling well, batters batting brilliantly, and Faf du Plessis leading them as well as he's ever led a team.
