Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli seemed visibly disappointed in the dressing room following his side’s loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 2. This defeat marked the third loss for the Faf du Plessis-led side in the league stage of the IPL 2024.
The attention was particularly focused on their former captain, despite the fact that the entire team likely felt disappointed with the outcome against KL Rahul and Co. In a video that has surfaced on social media, the 35-year-old was spotted alone in the dressing room after the defeat. The ace batter seemed deep in thought as he sat slumped in a chair, donning the RCB jersey.
