Virat Kohli is in great form for the past few months. Kohli won the Player of the Tournament award in the recently concluded World T20 2016, and he has continued his rich form and is the leading run-getter in the IPL with 561 runs which includes two centuries. But his IPL team RCB has not been consistent in the tournament and are sixth on the points table.

Gavaskar said that the bowlers have let captain Kohli down in the competition.

“Bowlers have let Bangalore down in IPL. Kohli is as good as his team,” Gavaskar added.
