World Cup: Michael Vaughan issues a warning to Team India
Virat Kohli is enduring quite a difficult time in leading Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB lie bottom in the standings and have failed to muster a single win from six matches. Things aren't going smoothly for the Indian skipper and in the same light, former English cricketer has issued a warning to Team India..
Here's the rationale behind Vaughan's suggestion
Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that India need to be smart in giving Kohli a rest with the ICC World Cup 2019 starting from May 30 onwards. India go in as one of the favorites and the idea behind Vaughan's suggestion was in regards to easing out the mental pressure of the 30-year-old. He feels that it would be a good decision.
Vaughan wants Kohli to be rested
RCB have started off poorly in IPL 12
RCB have endured a difficult campaign once again and for the third year in running, the side has failed to get off the blocks. This has left both the fans and pundits disappointed. The issue for RCB lies in the overall approach and lack of confidence. This season as well, they look over dependent on Kohli and AB de Villiers.
RCB players have let Kohli down: Our take
RCB's campaign is in tatters. They need to win their remaining eight matches to stand a chance of qualifying. At this rate, it seems unlikely that the club will make it to the next level. The players have let Kohli down.
ICC World Cup: Responsibility on Kohli is huge
India start their World Cup campaign against South Africa on June 5. There will be pressure on the Indian captain to lead the side from the front and score bulk of runs. India have done well in ODI cricket, but there are some issues that need to be sorted. Approaching the event with a fresh mind is crucial for Kohli and Team India.
