Michael Vaughan, the former England captain on Sunday said that the current Indian skipper Virat Kohli should be given a rest ahead of the upcoming 2019 Cricket World Cup.
His comments came moments after Royal Challengers Bangalore' (RCB) four-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals (DC). The team slumped to their sixth consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.
"If India are smart they rest @imVkohli now for the World Cup ... Give him some time off before the big event ... #IPL2019," Vaughan posted on his Twitter account.
After facing their sixth consecutive defeat, RCB recorded the joint-worst start to an IPL season. Previously Delhi Daredevils also recorded six losses in a row in 2013.
