It’s been 16 seasons now that an Indian Premier League (IPL) title continues to elude Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who have had some of the game’s batting legends playing for them over years, including Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli.
In case of former captain Kohli, he is into his 17th season for RCB; and as he continues to wait for his first IPL triumph, Kohli’s frustration seems to be growing in the twilight of his playing career.
Chracteristically animated and one who never shies away from showing his emotions on the field, a viral video of Kohli has cropped up on social media where he could be seen showing his disappointment and anger towards possibly a fielding effort by a teamamte or placement of a fielder.
It’s unclear from which match the video clip is from, but Kohli is clearly not happy and made sure that he let the erring teammate know that.

Against Rajasthan Royals, Kohli scored a record-extending eighth IPL century, but his knock proved futile as RCB lost the match by six wickets. His 72-ball 113 not out was also criticized for being slow. His century, which came in 67 balls, is the joint slowest in IPL history.
However, Kohli received little support from other batsmen, who together contributed just 59 runs in RCB’s total of 183 for 3.
Even during the match against Rajasthan, the cameras captured a moment when the 35-year-old Virat could be seen getting frustrated after watching a fielding effort while sitting in the dugout.
Reacting to Kohli’s expression, the commentator said: “Just feel the frustration…certainly from Virat Kohli. He is virtually carrying the team on his shoulders.”

RCB have lost four of their five matches so far in the ongoing season and languish at the ninth position on the 10-team points table despite Kohli leading the batting charts with 316 runs in five matches.
