IPL 2020: Gautam Gambhir slams Virat Kohli, asks RCB to take this tough decision

Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Gautam Gambhir has slammed Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli for failing to guide his workforce to the ultimate of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 and mentioned that it’s time for Kohli to stop captaincy.

It is to be famous that the RCB crashed out of the IPL 2020 after going through a six-wicket defeat in opposition to SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday in UAE. Kohli is main RCB for the final eight years and has failed to guide the franchise to the title to this point.

When requested if RCB ought to take away Kohli as captain, Gambhir instructed ESPNCricinfo, “100%, as a result of the issue is about accountability. Eight years into the event [without a trophy], eight years is a very long time. Tell me another captain…neglect about captain, inform me another participant who would have gotten eight years and would not have gained the title and would have nonetheless continued with it. So it needs to be accountability. A captain must take accountability.”

“It’s not solely about one yr, it is not solely about this. I’ve nothing in opposition to Virat Kohli however someplace down the road, he must put his hand up and say, ‘sure, I’m accountable. I’m accountable’. Eight years is a protracted, very long time. Look at what occurred to R Ashwin. Two years of captaincy [for the Kings XI Punjab], he could not ship and he was eliminated. We speak about MS Dhoni, we speak about Rohit Sharma, we speak about Virat Kohli…in no way. Dhoni has gained three [IPL] titles, Rohit Sharma has gained 4 titles, and that is the explanation they’ve captained for such a very long time as a result of they’ve delivered. I’m positive if Rohit Sharma would not have delivered for eight years, he would have been eliminated as nicely. There shouldn’t be totally different yardsticks for various folks,” Gambhir added.

Ganbhir mentioned that since it is the captain who earns most reward when a workforce wins a title, then a captain also needs to be held accountable if he fails to ship.

“The problem and the accountability starts from the top, not from the management nor the support staff, but from the leader. You’re the leader, you’re the captain. When you get the credit, you should take the criticism as well,” mentioned Gambhhir.
