It’s now nine defeats in 12 matches for Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore. They sit bottom of the table after their latest loss, when they failed to chase down a target of 139 against Kings XI Punjab.
They’ve got just five points now, and playoff hopes were extinguished a long time back. And while Kohli himself couldn’t explain why their star-studded batting lineup – including AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle – has been failing, Bollywood actor (and film critic) Kamaal R Khan provided his understanding of the team’s performances.
Today #RCB is in the bottom of #IPL2017 just because of arrogance of Aashiq @imVkohli n looting corrupt nature of Bhagoda @TheVijayMallya!

“Today RCB is in the bottom of IPL 2017 just because of arrogance of Aashiq Virat Kohli and looting corrupt nature of Bhagoda Vijay Mallya,” he tweeted – showing everyone why he’s Twitter’s favourite punching bag.
Kohli has been out of touch since returning from a shoulder injury sustained during the India vs Australia Test series, but the rest of the side hasn’t been doing well at all. Their losses have been embarrassing at times – with KKR bundling them out for 49 earlier in the season.
