In yet another disheartening display of cricket, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s bowling was taken to the cleaners by Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 30 of IPL 2024.

The powerhouse SRH lineup shattered IPL records by setting a colossal total of 287/3, leaving fans and foes alike stunned. Amidst this onslaught, a singular image of Virat Kohli, frustrated and despondent, highlighted the essence of RCB's recurring nightmare.


Desperate fans plead for Kohli's departure to escape perpetual heartbreak

Virat Kohli, the heart and soul of RCB for over 16 years, watched helplessly from the sidelines as his bowlers were pummeled across the park.

The internet was abuzz with sympathy for Kohli, whose consistent performances with the bat have been overshadowed by his team's perpetual bowling woes. Fans lamented his bad luck, tethered to a franchise that, despite its star-studded line-ups, has often faltered at crucial junctures year after year.

The spectacle at Bengaluru was particularly excruciating as Reece Topley became the most expensive overseas bowler in IPL history, conceding a whopping 68 runs in just four overs.

As SRH batters, led by a rampant Travis Head and a ferocious Heinrich Klaasen, laid waste to RCB’s strategies, the image of a forlorn Kohli spoke volumes. It was not just a bad day at the office for RCB, but an epitome of years of unfulfilled promises.

Kohli's plight resonated deeply with fans who have seen him bear the burden of expectation year after year, often single-handedly driving his team in pursuit of elusive glory. 

Social media platforms were flooded with messages of support, as fans called him 'unlucky' for being anchored to a sinking ship, despite his herculean efforts.


Here’s how Twitterati reacted:





As RCB looks to salvage what remains of this season, the focus remains firmly on Kohli. Fans will continue to hope that the ‘Chase Master’ conjures up some of his magic, turning the tide in favour of his beleaguered team.

But with the bowling unit in tatters, even Kohli’s brilliance might not be enough to steer RCB to a much-needed victory.
