Virat, so far has done badly in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The star batter has scored just 216 runs at an average of 19.64. Virat has scored just one fifty this season and that too with a poor strike rate - a match which Bangalore lost. (Pic Courtesy: PTI)

Even tonight in RCB vs PBKS match, just when Virat started showing his old form with the bat, he mistimed a short-pitched delivery from Kagiso Rabada and returned to the pavilion for 14-ball 20. (Pic Courtesy: PTI)

Ex-RCB skipper Virat Kohli's struggle to score runs led to him bagging shambolic three golden ducks this season including one in RCB's last fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad. (Pic Courtesy: @imVkohli / Twitter)

Virat is regarded as one of the best batters of all time in international cricket. His inability to score runs has triggered several conversations. Cricket pundits, including ex-India head coach Ravi Shastri, have suggested Kohli should take a break and leave IPL so that he can get some off time to return to form ahead of the T20 World Cup.
