Captain Kohli regretted about their mistake of dropped catches

Virat Kohli, the skipper of Royal Challengers Bangalore, lamented about dropping the catches by his team. He mentioned it is one of the crucial factors that led to the 59-runs margin defeat at the hands of the Delhi Capitals on Monday.

Yuzvendra Chahal dropped the catch of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis when he was at 30 runs. A mistake that resulted in Stoinis to score 53 runs off 26. If they hadn’t dropped that catch, DC wouldn´t score 196 runs.

Not only in the match against DC, Kohli dropped catches in other matches as well. In an earlier match against Kings XI Punjab, Kohli dropped the catch of KL Rahul twice. RCB lost the match.

“Those important chances in between, we need to grab when the opportunity comes our way, it is not like we are dropping half chances, we are dropping sitters and those things hurt you,” Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

“We got into the game after the first six and then Stoinis batted really well in the end, we gave him a life, he took the game away from us,” he added.

The Delhi team’s openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan started the match well and added 68 runs. However, the RCB bowlers took some early wickets giving DC some shock before losing the grip over the match again.

“I think they got off to a great start in the first six then we pulled it back in the next eight overs and the last phase again got away from us,” Kohli said.
