Kohli slams RCB bowlers after fifth consecutive defeat

ANI  |  Cricket 

has shown displeasure towards the bowlers after their fifth straight defeat, on Friday, in the ongoing (IPL), saying that bowlers did not show enough bravery.

"There's no rocket science behind it. We haven't played the kind of we should be playing at the level of the IPL and if you bowl like that, with not enough bravery in the crunch moments, then it's always going to be difficult when you have power-hitters like Russell in the opposition," ESPN Cricinfo quoted Kohli as saying.

"If we bowl like that, [and] we don't show composure in pressure moments, we deserve to be where we are in the table," he added.

Kolkata Knight Riders' Andre Russell bestrode the bowler as he smashed seven maximums and scored 48 runs off just 13 balls helping his side chase a colossal target of 205 to beat the bottom-placed

RCB will now host Capitals on April 7 and will aim to break their unwanted losing streak.
