Despite some great form in the IPL 2024, where Virat Kohli has scored a century too, some critics are pointing at his strike-rate being a concern

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports on Cricket Live, former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch shared his thoughts on RCB's batting, he said, "The bowling has been an issue for RCB for the last 10 years at least. You get to this point of the season that if things aren't well for RCB, you're always questioning the bowling. The whole unit is not clicking at the moment. Obviously, Virat's flying, he played beautifully again tonight. They're striking at 120 for the rest of the group when you've got such a fantastic platform, which makes it really difficult to get in the game. And then the ball's flying around the park. They started off brilliantly. Reece Topley was outstanding with the new ball. But like Faf said in his post-game, Mayank Dagar with the sixth over probably just let the momentum slip all the way into Rajasthan's change rooms and they couldn't contain it after that."

Former Australia cricketer Michael Clarke spoke about Virat Kohli and RCB's batting, he said, "I wouldn't point my fingers at Virat Kohli, I can't. He was brilliant and I think he played the exact role he needed to play. He needs to play at the moment because the batters around him are not scoring enough runs. They're not playing with enough confidence or enough freedom. As I mentioned at the start of the Rajasthan's innings, I think RCB left 15 runs out of the ground. A few of their decisions were hard to understand. If you've got Karthik as a specialist finisher, I don't know why he didn't come in probably after Maxwell. He certainly should have come in before Cameron Green. So, that was an interesting decision. I think there are other batters that are not in form and that's probably hurting them."
