Virat Kohli’s appalling form has been the discussion of IPL 2022. The former RCB captain had scored 236 runs, averaging under 20 preceding his heavenly show against GT. As far as the average is concerned, this is Kohli’s most awful season since 2008, when he averaged only 23.77 in 14 games up to this point.

Be that as it may, the right-hander has not allowed his lean form to get to his head as he saw the more amusing side of things when Rajasthan opener Jos Buttler moved toward him with an inquiry. The occurrence occurred in the outcome of RCB’s defeat against RR by nine runs in Pune on April 26.

 “The amount of cricket that I have played and the ups and downs and the toll that it takes on you to play three formats of the game plus the IPL for 10-11 years non-stop with the seven years of captaincy in between,” he said.
