Delhi: Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has taken yet another dig at Team India skipper Virat Kohli after his Indian Premier League side Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered yet another defeat in the hands of Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
It was also RCB's six consecutive loss in the 12th edition of IPL.
Talking about RCB's struggling form, the former Kolkata Knight Riders skipper said that even though the 30-year-old Indian skipper as a batsman is "an absolute master," Kohli the captain is "an apprentice".
While writing in his column for a national newspaper, Gambhir slammed Kohli by saying, “While Virat Kohli the batsman is an absolute master, Virat Kohli the captain is an apprentice. He has loads to learn. Rather than blaming the bowlers, he should take the blame on himself.”
“I would start with last year’s auction where they messed up,” Gambhir said, before adding, “Why did they go for Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Coulter-Nile if they knew these players were not available from the start?”
“At a small venue like the Chinnaswamy, where the wicket is flat, I would have gone with an out-and-out fast bowler.”
RCB will play their next match against Kings XI Punjab on Saturday.
