In his last three appearances for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Virat Kohli has been dismissed golden duck twice, averaging 16, and has only managed to score 128 runs in nine innings in IPL 2022.
While he still has issues with deliveries that go away, the former India and RCB skipper appears to have discovered a new weakness against hard-length deliveries. Kohli has been dismissed twice while attempting a pull shot and twice for deflecting away from his body to balls that were just short of a good length and rising.

ESPNCricinfo has put a question on Twitter asking, "What advice would you give to Virat Kohli right now?"
While the fans gave their own suggestions for the master; Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag's remark stole the show.
"None of us should, let the ???? do his thing," Parag tweeted.
He was named Player of the Match for his undefeated half-century against RCB on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Kohli and RCB captain Faf du Plessis came out to open the innings. He was almost caught in the third ball, but the ball bounced just inches away from the square leg fielder. The next Trent Boult delivery was flicked for a boundary, and he nearly chopped it back onto his stumps twice in the over's final two deliveries.
He was dismissed for 9 in the next over by Prasidh Krishna after getting a top edge while trying to play a pull shot.
