Kolkata: A dejected Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli on Sunday admonished his batsmen after collapsing to a 82-run defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders here, saying such performance from the famed batting line up was “unacceptable”.<\/p>\n
Calling it the RCB’s “worst batting performance”, Kohli said that “it really hurts”.<\/p>\n
The visitors were bundled out for 49, the lowest total in the Indian Premier League after the KKR, put in to bat first by Kohli, were all out for 131.<\/p>\n
“After the kind of half that we had, we thought we could capitalise and chase it down. Reckless batting. I can’t say anything at the moment. It was that bad. This is just not acceptable,” said a visibly annoyed Kohli, who himself scored a golden duck.<\/p>\n
The India captain, however, claimed he was distracted by a spectator.<\/p>\n
“The sightscreen is very small here, one guy got up as the bowler was loading up, that distracted me. Still it wasn’t a big deal. That was just one down,” he said.<\/p>\n
Kohli said the team needed to move on, leaving behind the poor show.<\/p>\n
“We need to forget it and move forward. We’re a much better team. We got 200 plus in the last game. I’m sure everyone realises what they’ve done wrong.<\/p>\n
“You have to come out, show intent and back yourselves. I’m sure we won’t bat like that again in the tournament.<\/p>\n
“We’re going back home for a couple of games. We’ve got back-to-back games, need to try and win those to get some momentum,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
