IPL Fans of every IPL team want to see runs come out of Virat Kohli's bat: Sunil Gavaskar
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will witness two mouth-watering contests as Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Delhi Capitals while Lucknow Super Giants host Punjab Kings at home.
A good sign for RCB is the way their batting mainstay Virat Kohli is batting in IPL.
Kohli's batting with positive intent this season is a positive for the franchise.
Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar believes it will boost RCB's chances of finishing in the top four in TATA IPL 2023.
Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live Show, Sunil Gavaskar said, "This year RCB's claim is on Virat Kohli. If he plays well in every game, then the chances of RCB winning increase. Virat is one of the biggest superstars and not only RCB but fans of every team want to see runs coming out of his bat."
Delhi Capitals' batting has been a weak link in the ongoing IPL 2023 as captain David Warner's side is winless in four games.
Warner - who is being criticised for his strike rate in the tournament - has been the lone warrior with the bat for the Delhi franchise.
In the second match on Super Saturday, KL Rahul - the captain of LSG - will be up against his previous franchise Punjab Kings.
Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif has stated that for LSG to do well, their skipper's batting form is very important.
Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live Show, Mohammed Kaif said, "If Lucknow has to do well, then KL Rahul will have to show the magic with his bat. The fate of this team largely depends on his batting."
Punjab Kings will once again be looking to bank upon their most expensive player Sam Curran for an all-round show against LSG.
