XtraTime Web Desk: Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their all four matches so far in this season’s Indian Premier League after they lost to Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets on Monday. On his milestone 100th match as RCB captain, Kohli failed to make it memorable as he was bowled by Shreyas Gopal for only 23 runs. After losing the game Kohli revealed that they were 15-20 runs short this time against Royals. “We were 15-20 runs short. Marcus and Moeen got us to a competitive score. With the dew factor, 15 runs more would have been more challenging. It wasn't easy to score in the end as the wicket became slower,” said Kohli after the match. RCB players dropped a few catches in the game which was another reason for their loss. Kohli feels that his players were a bit nervous. As per RCB skipper if luck were on their sides they would have won two matches among four. He is still hopeful that his team would turn things around soon. “We made a lot of mistakes in the match (dropped catches). In a tournament like IPL when team hasn't got off to a great start then bodies in the outfield can be a bit stiff. There can be a bit of nervousness. In four games, we would have wanted one or maybe two games to go our way. We have 10 games to go, hopefully we can turn things around. We played well against Mumbai and in this game. This tournament is not that long, it is not going to go on for months and you have to think on your feet and have to think about the best combination going forward. Hopefully, we will get fresh guys in and they can give a match-winning performance,” concluded Kohli.
