IPL 2020: KXIP v RCB Player Ratings - Virat Kohli disastrous, KL Rahul dazzles

IPL 2020, KXIP vs RCB: RCB Player Ratings

RCB captain Virat Kohli was a colossal failure in this IPL 2020 game [PC: iplt20.com]

Devdutt Padikkal: 2/10

Despite being on the back of a fluent fifty, Padikkal played a rash pull to get out on his second ball. The southpaw might have been persuaded by the required run rate to go for the shot, but he really should've taken a few more balls to get settled.

Aaron Finch: 4.5/10

Finch scored 20 runs on the night but looked woefully out of form. He struggled against the new ball and played very few balls off the middle of hist bat. The Australian white-ball captain's form will be a major concern for RCB in IPL 2020.

---

Virat Kohli: 0.5/10

Kohli had one of the worst games in his IPL career. His captaincy was all over the place, with his bowling changes baffling and ineffective. The Indian skipper dropped two sitters off KL Rahul's bat that cost his team at least 30 runs, and top-edged a pull to be dismissed for just 1 run.

---

AB de Villiers: 6/10

De Villiers offered some resistance, with his 18-ball 28 studded with 4 fours and 1 six. The South African really should have taken RCB closer to the KXIP target, but holed out in the deep off Murugan Ashwin.

---

Shivam Dube: 5.5/10

Dube picked up the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell, but spoiled all the good work with a disastrous final over. He shouldn't have been bowling the final over in the first place, but didn't really attempt to hit the yorker consistently. The all-rounder didn't do much with the bat either, as he was castled for a 12-ball 12.

---

Josh Philippe: 2/10

Philippe received a surprise promotion to No. 3 in the batting lineup, but failed miserably as he could manage only a 3-ball duck. The Australian's keeping did improve when compared to his nightmare outing in the first game, but he has done nothing to justify his place in the side.

---

Washington Sundar: 7/10

Sundar was not properly utilised by captain Kohli, with his two overs in the middle of the KXIP innings yielding 13 runs. The all-rounder was RCB's top scorer with 30 runs to his name, and the margin of defeat could've been much worse were it not for him.

---

Dale Steyn: 2/10

Steyn is clearly past his prime, and conceded 57 runs in his 4 overs against KXIP. The veteran pacer was taken apart by KL Rahul, with his fastest balls barely touching 140 kmph. He is certainly not the man to solve RCB's death-bowling woes, and the team will be praying for Chris Morris to make a quick recovery from his side strain.

---

Umesh Yadav: 1/10

Yadav was all over the place against SRH in RCB's first IPL 2020 game, and was arguably worse in this one. Frequently straying onto the pads among various other erratic bowling, the speedster conceded 35 runs in his 3 overs. He also played a ridiculous shot off his second ball with more than 6 overs to go in the RCB innings.

---

Navdeep Saini: 5/10

Saini was better than his figures of 0/37 in 4 overs suggest, but did resort to the slower ball a little too often. He was unlucky on occasions with edges and misfields, but the fast bowler didn't have one of his better nights in an RCB shirt.

---

Yuzvendra Chahal: 7.5/10

Chahal was the pick of the RCB bowlers once again, and registered figures of 1/25 in his overs. He did bowl a couple of loose deliveries that Rahul put away, but dismissed Mayank Agarwal with a beautifully disguised googly. The KXIP total could've been far higher if not for Chahal.
