Bangalore: Many were surprised to see the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB vs LSG) XI against Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. Where is the name of Virat King Kohli, the best USP of the team!

RCB went down to play the IPL match without Virat Kohli?

Kohli is not included in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s starting XI against Lucknow Super Giants in the 23rd league match of the IPL at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday. In the match, RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl. RCB will enter the field to chase runs.

However, Kohli was not left out. Rather, he has been placed in the list of impact sub players of RCB. From which it is clear that Kohli will come into the team as an impact player while chasing runs. Which means, Kohli will not be seen fielding in the field. But the biggest question is, why Kohli was suddenly dropped from the first eleven?

Why was Virat Kohli left out?

RCB played their last match against Mumbai Indians on 12 April. RCB batted first in this match. Kohli scored 50 runs off 38 balls with 5 fours and 1 six. But Kohli was not seen fielding in the second innings of that match.

It is known that Kohli was in trouble due to an ankle injury. That is why he did not enter the field to field. This is why Kohli was not included in the starting XI against Lucknow. However, captain Rajat Patidar did not give any update on Kohli’s injury after the toss.
