Virat Kohli was seen crying after the defeat in the field. Kolkata Knight Riders again shattered Virat's dream of winning the IPL by defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator match. With the defeat, RCB's journey in the tournament ended here. This was also the last match for Virat Kohli as captain. Talking to the team after losing the match, Virat was seen crying bitterly. De Villiers was also seen crying with him.
Batting first after winning the toss in the match, RCB scored 138/7 and the target of 139 runs was achieved by KKR at the loss of 6 wickets in the last over. When Kohli lost, he started crying on the field itself. There is a famous story about Kohli crying.
Kohli once said in a conversation with American sports reporter Graham Bensinger, "At that time I was playing a match for 4 days and my father passed away in between. I had to continue batting the next day. He passed away. Everyone in the family broke down and started crying, but there were no tears in my eyes. I couldn't understand what had happened and I was shocked."
Virat came out to bat the next day and he scored 90 runs. After this, Kohli has rarely been seen crying like this. When his team lost the final in the 2016 IPL, he was still a bit emotional, but when he played his last IPL as a captain and lost in the eliminator round, he cried a lot.
