Mumbai Apr 23 PTI Virat Kohli is doing everything that is under his control but there comes a phase in a players life when even the first edge is being taken by fielders RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar said in former India captains defence after his second golden -ball duck On Saturday Sunrisers Hyderabad beat RCB by nine wickets after dismantling the star-studded batting line-up for a mere 68 runs Kohli who hasnt scored a hundred in any format for more than three years now has got out to first ball ducks in successive games with a familiar pattern of dismissals outside the off-stump He Kohli is somebody who has consistently performed for RCB Players go through these kind of rough patches He started the season really well nearly hit the winning runs in Pune but then you have an odd run-out or the first edge that finds his bat lands in fielders hands Bangar a long time India batting coach said Bangar side-stepped the issue of Kohli needing a long break because former national team head coach Ravi Shastri feels that he is over-cooked He is certainly doing everything that is in his control He is doing his fitness and skills and taking good breaks and not letting the pressure get to him He has been taking breaks at regular intervals and will continue to do so going forward Bangar was stout in his defence for Kohli saying that he understands that people have their opinions since he has been such an important player for India for such a long time Even if you look at South Africa series the 80-odd that he scored in one of the Test matches was a fine innings Bangar said Shouldnt have lost four wickets in four overs says Du Plessis RCB skipper Faf du Plessis feels that losing four wickets for 20 runs in the first four overs became his teams undoing The first four overs we shouldnt have lost so many wickets it was a bit spicy upfront We still got to find a way to set a foundation in the upcoming games even if its sacrificing a few runs in the powerplay Du Plessis said after the match We just needed to get through that phase where the ball was swinging and seaming once you get through it it becomes easier This wicket looked the best the expectations were pretty high it was a very good wicket There are no excuses though Du Plessis said Du Plessis was all praise for South African pacer Marco Jansen as he got three wickets in one over Jansen bowled well in his first over swinging the ball both ways and got the big wickets You want to make sure you dont get a lot emotional It was a bad day at the office but you need to keep your chin up and need to get the learning from it As a team we need to move forward its a long tournament he said PTI KHS KHS PDS PDS
