Kohli showed signs of coming back to form after scoring a match winning knock of 58 runs off 45 balls against Delhi Daredevils in the last group league tie of Indian Premier League (IPL) at Feroz Shah Kotla. The RCB captain has been sedate by his own high standards as he has just managed to score 308 runs in 10 matches which included 4 half centuries. But his teammate though is confident of him coming good in the forthcoming Champions Trophy. “If you are in that kind of losing streak, you are going to be lost for words. You just have to get it out of your system as quickly as possible. He will be in a different environment (India team), maybe that can help him get back in the groove again, among runs,” said Gayle to HT during a promotional event in the capital. Like Gayle, it has been a disappointing season for Royal Challengers Bangalore as the franchise managed to win just three matches in the entire tournament. The team's key players failed to provide any kind of momentum and the others in the line-up fell drastically short of what the team management wanted, which eventually resulted in RCB ending with what was their most horrid season in all the 10 editions of the IPL. All the Big three has failed to live up to the expectation. Like Kohli, AB de Villiers too managed just 216 runs in nine matches he played. Universe Boss also would like to forget IPL 10 as the Jamaican scored only 200 runs in nine matches, which included just one fifty. Talking about the RCB’s poor show in the tournament, Gayle said, "It was a disappointing one. No one actually particularly clicked in all departments at all. It was more so in patches and we need more of a collective unit to perform out there. But, it just did not happen at all."
