Virat Kohli ends reign as RCB captain: Not everybody is fortunate to go out on a high, says Sunil Gavaskar
India Today
IPL 2021: Sunil Gavaskar said Virat Kohli has been able to bring great value to RCB's brand image despite not winning an IPL title with the Bangalore-based franchise. Kohli's captaincy reign came to a disappointing end on Monday.
Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar empathised with Virat Kohli after the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain ended his reign as the skipper of the franchise without being able to win a title. RCB lost an opportunity to win an elusive IPL title as they were ousted in the Eliminator of IPL 2021 by Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah.
Virat Kohli took over as RCB's full-time captain in 2013 and led them in 140 matches, winning 66 and losing as many as 70. Despite scoring plenty during his reign as captain, Kohli was not able to win a silverware for RCB.
