Yuvraj Singh [https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/69/yuvraj-singh], the former India all-rounder, has criticised India’s poor fielding effort against the West Indies in the first T20I match. Yuvraj, who was considered as one of the best fielders in his time, slammed the young guns for their missed chance in the middle. Washington Sundar, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul have dropped catches in the game. He also questioned if this is happening because of a number of matches that are being played in India. However, he remained hopeful of India’s win. “India very poor on the field today ! Young guns reacting a bit late on the ball! Too much cricket ? ? Let’s get these runs come on lads,” Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter and tweeted. After having won the toss, India elected to field first. Put into bat, the West Indies got off to a poor start as they lost their opener Lendl Simmons (2) very cheaply in the second over. Pacer Deepak Chahar provided with the first breakthrough for India. Later,?Evin Lewis and Brandon King added a 51-run partnership for the second wicket before the former one was dismissed by spinner Washington Sundar in the sixth over. Lewis then played a quickfire knock of 40 runs off just 17 balls.?Shimron Hetmyer joined King later in the middle and added some quick runs also. They stitched a stand of 37-run and guided the West Indies to went past the 100-run mark. Virat Kohli [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/virat-kohli-bcci-m.jpg]Virat Kohli Veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja dismissed King for 31 in the 11th over, reducing them at 101/3. However, Kieron Pollard and Jason Holder played some quickfire knocks at the end and?West Indies posted a huge competitive total of 207/5 in their 20 overs. In reply, Virat Kohli [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ind-vs-wi-2019-virat-kohli-creates-a-couple-of-records-with-his-career-best-94-in-the-1st-t20i/] and KL Rahul scored the fifties as India chased down the total with ease and eight balls to spare. The second T20I match will be played on 8th December at?Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
