The Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators has ruled against the hosting of a mixed-gender T20 match as requested by Virat Kohli-led IPL franchise - Royal Challengers Bangalore. The independent body claims that BCCI rules don’t allow contracted players to be part of exhibition games.

Danny Morrison is of the belief that Virat Kohli should have rested as a captain for Royal Challengers Bangalore in this Indian Premier League and should have just played as a batsman. RCB started with six consecutive losses and eventually finished last despite performing better in the second half.

Sourav Ganguly has stated that Virat Kohli’s captaincy record for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and for India in international cricket should not be compared. Kohli has a fine record while leading India whereas RCB have qualified for playoffs only once since 2013.

AB de Villiers, while heaping praise on Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians side, has written that self-belief is what makes the two sides consistent. MI and CSK have been the two most consistent sides in the IPL and will battle it out in the final of the 12th edition on Sunday night.
