Royal Challengers Bangalore have been the bottom-placed side in this Indian Premier League (IPL) for a long time. Aprt from some forgettable performances, luck has also not been favouring them too much.
RCB skipper Virat Kohli lost his ninth toss in 12 matches this season on Sunday as DC captain Shreyas Iyer called it right and decided to bat first on a hot day at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
Kohli reacted hilariously after losing yet another toss- his ninth toss in the last 11 games. He was seen laughing as he indicated towards the dressing room that it was number ‘nine’.

Delhi Capitals are sitting pretty on the third position, with 14 points from 11 games, while RCB are placed right at the bottom, with 8 points from 11 games. A win for Delhi will guarantee them a place in the playoffs and place them top of the table.
However, RCB have won the last three matches and have the momentum with them. They need to win all their remaining games to make it to the playoffs.
Delhi win toss, RCB bowl first
Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) tie at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Sunday.
