Very poor performance of RCB this season
Knight riders’ performance ended with rain in this IPL session. KKR has 11 points in 13 matches and even if he wins his last league match against Hyderabad, it is impossible for him to enter a knockout. Virat Kohli shocked everyone by retiring from Test cricket before his tour of England. After this, his fans were desperate to see him on the field in the IPL match, but canceling today‘s match has increased the wait for the fans.
Stadium colored in the color of Virat
Meanwhile, Kohli’s fans presented a different vote at M Chinaswamy Stadium on Saturday. All were reaching the stadium in white jerseys. He did this to give Virat Kohli a great farewell. The stadium was turned into a white sea. A few days ago, some fans launched a campaign, stating that all the fans had reached the ground in the White Jersey so that Kohli gave a big departure to test cricket. That’s exactly what happened.
