I’d no belief, tank was empty: Virat Kohli on quitting IPL captaincy

Star India batter Virat Kohli has opened up on his decision to step down as skipper of Royal Challengers Bangalore after 2021 season, saying he had no “belief” and his “tank was absolutely empty” towards the end of his IPL captaincy tenure. RCB had a horror run in 2019 when they lost six games in a row to eventually finish at the bottom of the IPL table. They were wooden spooners in the 2017 edition as well. Kohli quit as RCB captain after the 2021 season with South Africa’s Faf du Plessis taking over the reins. Virat Kohli’s pep talk to the RCB Women’s Team King came. He spoke. He inspired. He’d be proud watching the girls play the way they did last night.
