Say no to hate-mongering, says KKR as RCB players face abuse on social media
KKR posted a video of wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik talking about social media abuse. "I feel sometimes that social media needs to be a kinder place. I think people don't realise the gravity of what they say, be it memes, videos or just the use of words.

IPL: Time to regroup and restructure RCB as captain Kohli fails
One of the biggest criticisms of Kohli has been his decision-making that has played a major role in deciding the outcome of his team's campaign at ICC events, or in IPL as well. For all his stunning success as a batsman, the 32-year-old can never claim to have mastered the art of captaincy in white-ball cricket. On Monday, the stylish cricketer played his last match for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as a captain. The Red Devils lost a close contest to Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2021 Eliminator in Sharjah, thereby ending the hopes of RCB to win the cup under Kohli's captaincy.
