IPL 2020: Gautam Gambhir urges Virat Kohli to be more responsible as RCB captain

If balance is t right in RCB set-up n Indian captain should have gotten himself involved even more. Kohli was appointed as RCB's skipper in 2013 edition. Under his reign, franchise h me it to playoffs in 2015 and were runners-up in 2016 season. However, team h finished as wooden-spooners on most of occasions.

' first thing is that': Gautam Gambhir

“ first thing is that Virat Kohli is one who has been captaining RCB since 2016. So if balance was t re earlier, n Virat Kohli should have got more involved. I still feel that RCB look a little batting-heavy. But one thing that you will see a little different is that bowlers will be happy because y will t have to play 7 matches at Chinnaswamy Stium. You will be playing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi which probably have bigger grounds, wickets are t as flat as Chinnaswamy. It is always difficult to judge bowlers from Chinnaswamy’s point of view,” said Gambhir while interacting on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected'.
