Sorry folks but Bengaluru is not your ideal cricket team, it belongs to Virat Kohli 

Faf Du Plessis took a spectacular catch, probably the game-changing moment for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, or else things could have been tough for them. But who gets the credit? After the rain, Virat Kohli scored 26 off 23 balls, while Du Plessis scored 45 off 28 balls. But who gets the credit?

Du Plessis calmly planned on how to stop Chennai Super Kings, while Virat Kohli was busy showing aggression. He even said “shhh” to his own Chinnaswamy crowd. How beautiful it looks, but sorry folks, RCB means Virat Kohli.

There is nothing else in the team for fans because they care less about the team and more about their superstar, who brings a lot of money and attention to the franchise.

It is not a team of equals but of unequals, where the leader, despite being a good human being, remains behind the scenes. Not even commentators care about any other players as if it is aggression that wins you a match, not perfect planning and execution headed by a willing leader, which Faf Du Plessis definitely is.

He was more respected, he was a bigger name, and he had a bigger role to play at CSK even though he wasn’t a leader there. Even in the presence of MS Dhoni, Du Plessis had a bigger role to play, and he didn’t look like he had to suppress his role as an incredible player and individual being.

Sorry folks, but every player of the Bengaluru team wants to win the trophy for Virat Kohli, not for the team, as it has been clarified by members. Everyone wants him to win the trophy because he’s the biggest superstar in the world of cricket.

He brings news and attention to the IPL. Who would watch an IPL playoff where there is no Virat Kohli? Nobody will. That’s why it was mandatory for Royal Challengers Bangalore to be in the playoffs. Rohit Sharma doesn’t have the same charm, and his team wasn’t in contention for qualification for the playoffs.

MS Dhoni, as golden as his days were, brings views and attention to the IPL for only two overs. And who cares about Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Kolkata Knight Riders? How many Virat Kohlis are there? None.

That would have been a bad marketing deal for the IPL management to have IPL playoffs without someone who can scream in aggression.
