'It was Kohli's chance to win IPL as captain. Bowling that one bad over shattered me': Ex-Australia star on 2016 final
In IPL 2016, Virat Kohli had burned up the charts with 973 runs, which is still a record for the most runs in a single season by an individual
but RCB stumbled on the final hurdle as they fell short of SRH's total of 208 by just 8 runs.
Virat Kohli will surely go down as an IPL great, but one that never won the trophy as captain. Kohli, who captained RCB for 8 years
before stepping down after the 2021 season, came close to lifting the IPL crown in 2016
when RCB reached the final but lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the summit clash. Kohli had burned up the charts with 973 runs
which is still a record for the most runs in a single season by an individual,
but RCB stumbled in the final hurdle as they fell short of SRH’s total of 208 by just 8 runs.
Cricket is a game where results are determined by the barest of margins, and for RCB
it was one such game. SRH scored 24 runs off the last over of their innings, bowled by Shane Watson, who had a rather off day.
