The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have had a nightmarish start to their IPL 2019. With six losses on the trot, they have managed to equal the record for most losses at the start of a season with Delhi Capitals.

The ever-aggressive and extremely expressive captain Virat Kohli did not look his usual self while they were going down in their sixth match. The fans have started to worry whether this haplessness of Kohli would affect him in the upcoming World Cup 2019.

However, his India teammate Kuldeep Yadav, who plays for Kolkata Knight Riders has cleared some air and has delighted a lot of fans. He believes that when Kohli plays for the national side, he is different and his hunger to win for India is different.

While talking to PTI, the chinaman bowler said, “He's one of the best in the world, has broken so many records I don't think he will be affected by this. He has a different hunger when he plays for India. Everyone is highly motivated to do well in the World Cup.

He was also asked why RCB has not been able to live upto the expectations of the fans and has gone down so easily this season. He said, “It's a team combination. With 5000-plus runs, individually he (Kohli) is doing his best. But maybe his team combination is not clicking. Maybe somewhere down the line he's lacking in team combination.

Kuldeep concluded saying Virat looks in fine form, “He's in great touch and if he keeps doing well like that it will be good for India in the World Cup.
