Amidst calls for dropping Kohli, RCB reacts to his disappointing returns; here's what RCB tweeted
Bengaluru: The unprecedented slump in form and disappointing returns with the bat of Virat Kohli during the IPL 2022 has lately been the talk of the cricket town with several experts, fans, and pundits sharing their views on the form of the star cricketer.
In the eight innings that the former Indian skipper has stepped on the crease to bat in the IPL this year, he has only returned with 119 runs at a miniature average of 17 and a strike rate of 122.68.
Although Kohli’s fans across social media platforms have backed him and are hoping for him to return to his best once again, several users have also criticized Kohli who has 70 international centuries to his name.
Former Head Coach of Indian Cricket Team Ravi Shastri on Tuesday suggested that Kohli should pull out of the ongoing IPL and take a break from cricket before coming back to play international cricket.
Kohli’s franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday reacted to the challenge Kohli is facing and backed the ace Indian cricketer to come back stronger. In a tweet on Wednesday after the team’s defeat against the Rajasthan Royals, RCB wrote “The only way @imVkohli knows to take on a challenge, is to stare at it without any fear!”
Kohli has been the star performer for the RCB and has been with them ever since the inception of IPL in 2008 becoming the highest run-getter in the history of the IPL.
Both RCB and fans will be hoping that Kohli gets his touch back in the second half of the IPL as they lay in a critical territory (fifth position after their match against RR on Tuesday) on the points table at the moment.

Expelled Cong MLA Mamkootathil gets bail in sexual assault case
Pathanamthitta(Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court on Wednesday granted bail to expelled Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil in the third sexual assault case against him, in which he was arrested earlier this month.
The bail was granted by the Pathanamthitta District Sessions Court, which was considering an appeal filed by the MLA against a judicial magistrate's court that had denied him relief, stating that the allegations against him were serious and that he had "similar antecedents".
The third sexual assault case was registered against the Palakkad MLA under Sections 376 (rape) and 506(1) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), following a complaint lodged by a woman from Kottayam district on 8 January. He was arrested in the case on January 11 in Palakkad.
The Kerala High Court and a sessions court in Thiruvananthapuram had earlier protected the MLA from arrest in the first two sexual assault cases, which were registered based on complaints from two different women.
