Virat Kohli showed his frustration towards RCB teammate Karn Sharma after the spinner conceded a six in his first over against Gujarat Titans. During the initial strategic time-out, Kohli was visibly irritated and was observed scolding Sharma, causing the spinner to feel embarrassed in front of the entire team.
Sharma has had limited appearances in the 17th season, featuring in just four matches. He was dropped from the Playing XI after the match against Chennai Super Kings but was reinstated for the game against Kolkata Knight Riders due to the poor performances of other bowlers. He maintained his position for subsequent matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans.
Despite Kohli’s outstanding batting displays, RCB has struggled, managing to win only two matches out of nine. Kohli has recorded one century and three half-centuries, accumulating over 400 runs in the season.

The likelihood of RCB securing a playoff spot this season is diminishing. Former India player Harbhajan Singh has called for Virat to resume his role as captain of the franchise, expressing confidence in Kohli’s ability to rejuvenate the struggling team’s prospects.
The incident where Virat Kohli expressed his frustration towards his RCB teammate underscores the intensity and pressure of competitive cricket. However, the intervention of an ex-captain highlights the importance of leadership and mentorship in managing team dynamics. Such moments serve as reminders of the complexities and challenges faced by athletes in their pursuit of excellence, both individually and collectively.
