Virat would have bowled brilliantly

Now take 11 batsmen and enter the field
Will Jack, the team's best bowler along with Reece Topley, Ferguson, performed well in the match against Hyderabad. Now instead of bowlers, it would be better if the team fielded only 11 batsmen. Give captain Faf du Plessis two overs and Cameron Green four overs. I think if Virat Kohli had bowled four overs in this match, he would not have scored so many runs. Virat Kohli is a good bowler. I felt very bad for Virat Kohli watching the balls fly out of the stadium. Srikanth has also said that when he came to bat, he came out in anger.
38 sixes, 41 fours in one match!
RCB didn't give any specialist spinner a chance against Sunrisers. Apart from this, Mohammad Siraj was also not given a place in the team. The team's bowling line-up looked inexperienced. Will Jack was seen bowling off-spin for RCB. He conceded 32 runs in three overs. Fast bowlers Reece Topli, Yash Dayal, Lockie Ferguson and Vijayakumar Vaishak scored 137 runs in 10 overs. Sunrisers hit 22 sixes. It was a perfect day for the batsmen as RCB hit 16 sixes. Sunrisers Hyderabad took T20 batting to new heights in this match. He hit 41 boundaries in this innings.
