RCB’s dependence on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers needs to be changed: Brian Lara

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers Probably regarded as the best batting pair a team can have. Their on-field partnership and off-field friendliness reflect the amount of trust they put on each other. However, it is inauspicious from the other side, when RCB are not able to win a single IPL trophy despite having these two stars. Once again in IPL 2020, they could not go all the way and lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator.

It is often seen that RCB relies heavily on the pair of Kohli-de Villiers. Apart from successive youngster Devdutt Padikkal, no one stood for the team with his batting this season. According to the former West Indies cricketer, the superstar should not have too much dependence on the pair Brian Lara.

Lara admitted that RCB needed to revisit this factor, and only then would they be able to perform. RCB’s bowling unit performed slightly better this season but still needs a lot of work to do before performing for the next season.

RCB played very good cricket, but Brian Lara said that was a bit inconsistent

He said, “They (RCB) played very good cricket, sometimes a little inconsistent. They didn’t end up in the top 2 when they had that opportunity. I think what they need to do is just assess the situation. And the dependence on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers has to move forward, ”Lara told Star Sports.

Playing the eliminator against the Hyderabad team, apart from de Villiers, none of the batsmen could score well for the team. This is why the team was only able to post 131 on the board. De Villiers’ half-century was the only significant thing in his batting unit.

On the other hand, Jason holder And Kane Williamson was determined enough to take SRH in line. Even his bowling attack, including the likes of T Natarajan and Holder, led to an all out win for SRH.
