Hyderabad: Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli termed Sunday’s 118-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad as one of their “worst losses ever” in the Indian Premier League.
Jonny Bairstow and David Warner smashed sensational centuries to guide Sunrisers to a comprehensive 118-run win over struggling RCB.
This was RCB’s third loss on the trot in the tournament.
“One of our worst losses ever. Literally nothing I can explain. Nothing went right for us from ball one until our last wicket fell in the second innings. We were outplayed in all departments by a quality side. They showed that they are a champion side — they were finalists last time and beat us in the final (in 2016),” a dejected Kohli said after the match.
Kohli credited Bairstow and Warner for taking the game away from his side with their explosive opening partnership. (PTI)
