After officially relinquishing the captaincy of Bangalore in the 2021 season, Virat Kohli has been reintroduced into the role this year in recent matches, replacing designated skipper Faf du Plessis whenever necessary. The South African star was part of the games as an impact player. Du Plessis is recovering from an injury and will take longer to get back into shape. However, the former Proteas captain has produced some memorable shots and is currently the top scorer among Bangalore batters with 422 runs in 8 appearances. Kohli was also found in his signature groove and is second on the list with 333 runs.
Bangalore will enter the Lucknow game after a 21-point loss to Kolkata Knight Riders. Coming to chase 201 runs in the home game, Bangalore’s batting unit suffered a massive meltdown with Virat Kohli being the only standout player. The former India captain had a strong start to the chase with a 54 from 37 balls, but the other hitters failed to build on the foundation.
