Marcus Stoinis stated that his new IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore are the biggest franchise in world cricket. The Aussie all-rounder was conversing with one of the commentators during the mid-innings break last night.
However, his words came crashing as RCB crashed to their fifth straight defeat in IPL 2019. They are the only team to have not won one game in the ongoing season of the cash rich league.
“What a place. Great fans. Arguably the biggest franchise in World Cricket. Exciting to be here. We have two best batsmen of this generation in our team. Tonight has been so good so far. It looks like a good wicket. I wasn’t there for a long time as I came in the slog overs. Hopefully, we have posted enough,” he said.
Virat Kohli, who scored a sublime fifty, lambasted his players for their ordinary display.
“There is no guessing there (about where they lost), the last 4 four overs that we bowled was just unacceptable. We needed to be cleverer, nothing came off and we just cracked under pressure. That’s been our story this season so far. If you bowl with not enough bravery in the crucial overs, it’s always going to be difficult against power-hitters like Russell.”
